THE WAVE GUIDE THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT FOR......is a bandpass 6TH configuration for the low woofer. There are 2 chambers ( the big one reacting with the 2 ports resonators and the little one ( created by the wave guide in front of the cone ). This configuration give a boost in SPL and limit a part of some distorsions. Generally, you can study the bandpass 6th principle also. It;s an old system but rare seen in the fullrange speakers. Usually , seen at very powerfull speakers systems for big venues.

[@premchaithanya.m6678]

Please man don't stop doing this... you're great... expecting more PA's..!

[@jamband4230]

The fact that you just went right into this speaker no fluff no monologue just right into the video and you didn’t stop taking it apart you I thought you were gonna rip the woofer right outta the basket! This was an awsome video

[@brucegarethgeorge]

The waveguide is there to help control sound dispersion. To help prevent waveform frequency cancellation. It's not to improve frequency response.

[@rudyzuniga7834]

Ev zlx, zxa1 sub tear down! 🙃

[@stephonbethune8421]

Good review . I'd like to see you take apart a JBL PRX 815 to see differences between the two series of powered tops.

[@2DudesAudio]

Sorry for the delay! New video this week, The second video for the hifi budget series, keep ya eyelids peeled! Thanks for all the comments and support!

Does it have deep bass or bass is really good than its patybox speakers

[@alexspangler610]

If I could like this video 200 times I would can you guys do more of these you are the best you actually give useful info, not just some old guy playing music without a meter....

Finally a great detailed video of this!!!

[@gannongannon]

love your reviews thanks so much

[@simoned4307]

great video! which fullrange speaker would you recommend to get the "bass in the chest" feeling? I would use it to play hard techno, acidcore,... music genres with a hard kick and bass

[@bca278]

I’m running these JBLs with an older 18 inch EV sub and they sound amazing.

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

You should d oa test and a teardown to the JBL EON618S 1,000 Watt peak 500 RMS. So frickin loud in person and i barely even went up volume and the bass is just INSANELY DEEP BASS AND BOOMING XD I tested it out at the Guitar Center on a couple of my music and holly craP I AM GETTIN' THAT BEAST NOW XD I have 2 2,000 Watt QSC K10 K.2 10 inch top subwoofer speaker. Insanely loud and thumping punching bass from them. I have the Gains set to the 12 O' clock position and i barely have the volume up (I always have the setting preset to Dance and i frickin love them. 2 QSC 2,000 Watts 10 inch K.2 K10 10 inch Drivers. (I sound tested them at Guitar Center and i was like Oh my god i am GETTIN' DEM BOYZ XD AND ALSO I SOUND TESTED THE JBL EON 618S 1,000 WATT SUBWOOFER LOL. SO INSANELY LOUD AND DEEP BASS OF PUNCHING DEEP THUMPING BASS ASWELL. It shook the entire big display-room / show-room. I'm soon gonna get it in like 2 more months.

[@bennettshapiro7711]

Very interesting hearing the speaker without the wave guide. IMHO, the wave guide really helps in keeping the speaker natural sounding. It makes it especially useful as a vocal monitor on stage.

[@shakeelahmedawan9735]

Can I use this equipment for karaoke songs?

[@fran.theman007]

Keep coming with the speaker vids!!!! Im looking for a great sub to buy...

[@codesent2125]

I had a 612 eon one time that I converted to passive, and it was a pretty good sounding speaker

[@Mr.Brolic]

Hey do some rcf fbt and Db tech reviews👍🏾

[@Norb23]

108dB ? Something wrong with the spl meter ? Description read... 126dB max SPL from what distance half than 1m. :O I like the video anyway. 🙃

[@2DudesAudio]

Yeah it's what we got at 1 meter roughly. Dont get me wrong it was insane loud. Remember every 3 db is twice the intensity.

[@LioSintra]

Don't forget that the db that all manufacturers tell are very difficult to get. They may reach those values with a very lenear music and with low base equalization on mixer. These models have 500w Rms and they are very loud. If you add a sub for gigs or weddings they are perfect. I have 2 eon12" and a db technologies15" sub and don't need more than this for weddings up to 200 guests.

[@Norb23]

@@LioSintra Thx,so i tested my little 6,5 monitors with a dB meter look like similar in @ 20w rms ~ 108,7dB! That's why I was interested. If you have an 500w amp powered by 400w @ 95dB sensivity speaker 10 feet - 111dB + more can do. 3 feet 121 , 3 feet - 20 watt 108dB... questionable that its true sensitivity is no less than 95dB 1w\m. When i have time to listening this JBL 612 would be curious.

[@sonny9546]

@@2DudesAudio 108 Db is not that loud, I have a jbl partybox 300 that sounds as loud at 1 meter, I measured it

[@djfoxhype758]

Can you review the cerwin vega cve-15

[@armstronglance]

That coil you found on the speaker leads is probably to filter out any 400kHz from the class D oscillator. Any chance you have a copy of the schematic? Or know how to get one?

[@2DudesAudio]

We would need to contact the manufacturer for that and hope for a reply

[@PaulJBaccash]

Usually I use the volume of speakers at 12h. But those have volume knobs. Which position should I use those master and Chanel volumes to make them sound loud without have any damage on speaker?

[@2DudesAudio]

The best way we used it was, 12-3 o'clock on master with the channel gain anywhere from 0 to max.

[@LioSintra]

I have two 612 to replace my old Mackie Srm450 and made a configuration with JBL app via Bluetooth and I it is very impressive the sound of it. If you also have one can do the configuration that Djrickweb did, it looks a total new speaker with that configuration. Thanks for your videos.

[@anssc587]

Can a car amplifier work on the speaker

[@armstronglance]

I wish I’d seen this video before I bought two EON612 amps on eBay. They say they’re rated 1000W, I don’t see how that’s possible. Thanks for the tear down. The replacement EON612 amps I just bought came with no documentation. I also have JBL PRX812w’s, they crank. But none of them approach the volume of my discrete horn, mid, & sub setups.

[@nikola1499]

Thanks vid

[@caradehuachinango1291]

Thanks for the video, I bought a pair of Eon 612'ves refurbished at eBay about 2 years ago. One tweeter blew out on my third gig (I'm a casual Home DJ for home parties), at that time, the speaker was under JBL warranty. This weekend the same thing happened on the other speaker, my question is: Is this a common problem from these Models? I hardly ever use the EONS since I own several other speakers. I find it shocking that after only 8-10 gigs this problem persists. Any comments on this issue? Thanks.

[@KresBeatzEnt]

i have a pair, i replaced the tweeter on one speaker twice. idk y?

[@savcimurat2720]

Hi there , i'm from belgium and have a request, can you please do a revieuw of the behringer b1500xp or b1800xp please please....greetings

[@canyuto]

Question, I just bought the 610, plugged a mic. In line, and it’s not loud at all, do I need to run a mixer for loudness? If I use the mic option, it is a bit louder. Thoughts? Thank you.

[@simsosyss]

Bro bu removing the wave guide you lose the bass response of those speaker I did that and thought my boxes were bad put them back on and you will notic the difference....

[@ProvacativeAcorn]

do you think that the bass would be good enough for apartment use? why does he say that the bass isnt good when its 12 inches?

Could I connect some Behringer Eurolive B1200D-PRO to these? Would I just run a cable from the “through”?

My EON G2's were $799 new. These new EON's are cheap and they sound like it lol. That's what happens when buyers demand cheap prices

[@2DudesAudio]

Yeah, the older generation sure packed more punch, all the new stuff is dsp out the butt.

[@LioSintra]

Your model are very good and I like more the sound of Grey model (only have volume knob) instead of black model with eq buttons. But when you need high volume they loose quality. With this model if you use the app you can get the same quality in all volumes. I even made them clip and the sound keep same quality and much more louder than old jbl models. I think this is a kombat speaker model just like old g2 were. Other manufactory like Mackie can't make new kombat models like the old srm 450 v1 and V2. But Jbl and Yamaha still can.
