These are clearly JBL pots and back covers (which have been milled flat). The refinishing job is quite nice, but the origins are clear. Also, the phenolic diaphragm is clearly for the 2482/2485 (and looks like a JBL part), which has a slightly wider ...

Adrian, This it truly complicated question. The Titans’ upperbass (the better one, curved, with 12” driver) is not realty HF capable and it makes a MF driver need to go all the way down to probably 500Hz (I do not know what Bruce dies in the crossov...
