Polk RT35's
« on: March 31, 2014, 10:28:07 PM »
Here is my dilemma.  I acquired a fried pair of these.  They look nice, but the woofers and crossovers were fried.  I fixed the crossovers, but can't decide whether to get some Dayton woofers from parts express for $26 and see how they sound, or just part them out and count my losses.  Polk wants $75 for original drivers, and from a fit standpoint they are the only ones that can be dropped in without modification.  Anyway, if anyone has a need for parts of these let me know before I start trying drivers in them.

A working pair of the tweeters went on eBay for $90, which is odd since working pairs of the speakers went for less.   It seems that the tweeters were used for many models, so I guess the bidders were fixing cabs higher up the food chain.

Look for some used drivers on the 'Bay.  These were used on several Polk models.

90 is on the very high side. I sold a pair to a guy in Australia on ePay some months back for 45 dollars.
