i went to an auction last night and landed 4 of these at an absurdly cheap price. the old ladies in attendance did not appreciate big ugly speakers. i *think* they are JBL's based on the butt cheek horn and the cast frame woofers. they have no markings so until i unbolt the drivers i wont know for sure. the boxes are plywood.

any clue?

Look like JBL drivers. If you got the correct "butt cheek" lens and compression driver, you REALLY scored. Google JBL 4435 for images.

If they are what I think they are, congrats!*Hi5* To further our envy*headache*, please tell us how little you paid.*hypnot*

I'd say you have at least a 100 times profit built in.*drool**drool**drool*

alright, i opened them up. i made a good call on these. all JBL pro stuff inside. the buttcheek horns have been "violated" and have holes drilled in them but i aint crying over it!

the boxes looked very well made and apparently sprayed at an auto shop but seemed too small for the drivers used. one of my buddies that was a club dj here in miami seems to remember these very speakers hung over a dj booth at a club he used to spin at. small world. i emptied the cabs and put them on the curb. this morning they were gone.

why did you go thru all that trouble to link all those pics and then delete them?

I was just about to post and ask the same thing.

So I did. :-)
