If you measure that speaker with a meter it will oonly measure about 5.37 ohms. The 8 ohm is for impedance not DC resistance.. Just so u don't think u have bad speakers..Yeah... My other cabs/speakers work great with my cables/instruments so I think I have narrowed it down to the jack or connector or wires.
It is not a matter of the BW sounding 'off' or buzzy, but FRIED (in the same way the JBL is). Both are 8 ohms. The box is solid and insulated.
I do understand that the D130 is a guitar speaker, however a bass was played through it for years, which is why I just assumed it was blown...(Imma still keep it)
So does an ohm meter determine the actual impedance of the speaker?
AND, what would a faulty jack look like? (Sorry, not in front of it now)

So having exhausted all other options, it seems that the problem does indeed lie with the facing of the cabinet around the speaker hole not being 100% flush. Not only that, but there is some plywood that has been gouged/pulled...
When I hold the speaker in my hands it sounds just fine, but when it rests in the opening it is a god-awful buzz.
Its no wonder there was a putty substance around the edge!

That'll do it. When you tighten the speaker basket against it it is forcing the basket out of shape and causing the voice coil to rub against the magnet causing the noise. Only real way to fix it is to replace the baffle....
glad you finally got it figured out.
