Can I turn a pair of JBL JRX125 speakers into subwoofers by changing the crossovers?
mattmo91 asked:
Can I remove the tweeter and crossover and replace it with a JBL subwoofer crossover and turn them into subwoofers? We have 4 JRX125 speakers and really only need two of them so I was wondering if we could turn the other ones into subs? Thanks!

In theory any speaker can be made to run at a lower frequency if given the right signal (the limiting factor being the size of the coil and magnet apparatus). If you indeed removed the crossovers and replaced them with subwoofer crossovers (assuming the power ratings are the same) you would be able to reproduce frequencies down to about 35hz… decent for a subwoofer.
yes you would play lower frequencies accustomed to hearing from subwoofers but the magnet and driver are not made to hit that low and will end up melting the leads or frying the voice coil.
