How common?

Positives?

Wiring for 2 cabs?

GD said he now and then would recone 16ohm baskets and the tech might not have removed the 16ohm sticker. Where the heck is my ohm meter when I need it?

All the re-cones for his JBL's were 4 ohms so most labels on the magnets may show something different. Both of mine are labeled 8 ohms but are 4 ohms on a meter. I'm sure his BW's were the same case.
