Maybe I should design a preamp with an L100/4310 de-EQ switch!

Here's a JBL supplied graph to assist in your reverse engineering:
Unfortunately, they'll never do much with first octave bass.
That graph helps explain the god-awful sound I remember from the L100s hung on the walls in a big lecture room in the music building way, way back when I was in college in the 1970s. For us music majors, there was no escaping those speakers; we all had to take music literature classes, and we all had to take Music 106a & 106b, History of Western Music, with portions of an incredible number of records played for our education. Everything sounded strident, and if the record was mastered stridently, it was even worse.
Oddly, the JBL system in our Camry sounds absolutely splendid. So I guess JBL can do neutral.
The JBL system in my Lincoln Mark VIII was the first car stereo I have had that I could listen to and enjoy classical music. The sound is excellent. JBL also made an L110 around the same time as they made the L100, and it is very neutral. Your school should have bought L110's!
