Author Topic: JBL 2445J Horn Driver Question Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-16-2008 06:57 AM                     I need to buy three of these drivers to complete my sound system and the only ones I can find are 16 ohm. I opened the spec sheet on it from JBL and it says they are 16 ohm also but when I open the spec sheet on the 4675A system, which is what I am building, it says the system is 8 ohms. So did JBL make 8 ohm versions too or are all of the 2445J drivers 16 ohm? Thanks for your help.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 05-16-2008 08:57 AM                        Both impedances are available. The horn has much more level than the woofer. If you are bi-amped, it may not matter much whether the horn is 8 or 16. Level setting before EQ will make them the same. If you are not bi-amped, then use less h.f. shelving on the crossover. Louis  |  IP: Logged
