<< < (2/2)

OOPS!  They are sl2000, look the same, not sure if it will work for you.  I have 2, 1 has small dimple in the dome.  Let me know if you think you can use them.

Slim-Shaddy:
it looks like with the 2000 I'd have to do some crossover work and I'd like to avoid that. Thank for the offer though ;)

F1nut:
If they were my speakers I would disable both SDA tweeters and forget about it. That said, about the only places to find a SL1000 would be in the Polk Flea Market or on eBay.

confused:
That is not a bad idea F1nut!  Even Polk took the tweeter out of the sda part of the speaker in later models.  Might balance out the sound between the two speakers, yet leave the sda effect intact.  If nothng else this might make the speakers usable until a replacement is found.

F1nut:
Yeah Dale, the problem with the SDA tweeter is that it creates an un-natural effect, which as you mentioned, Polk realized and corrected.

king-edwin, if you do disconnect the SDA tweeters, you may find the regular stereo tweeters a bit too hot. Simply increase the resistor value in series with the stereo tweeter to tame it down.
