    Still no love for the original SDA-SRS's (non 1.2/1.2tl)?
    Completely different design. The SRS is 2/3rd generation.

    Just wanted to everyone you know that I put an order in for a new batch of boards from a new suppler today, the only difference will be a green bottom solder mask. They should be here in about 2 weeks. I'll let everyone know when they get here.

    That's great Tony. Thanks for continuing to offer your vastly superior SDA crossover boards.

    Nice Tony! Thanks for all the effort in keeping the SDA boards/caps/resistors/inductors, current.

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Thanks Tony. I've bought sets for two different SDA's, and have been very pleased. This is a great service to anyone who wants to upgrade their Xovers in later model SDA's.

    I have samples of the new boards, and they are exceptional quality.

    You would think that with all of the enhancements created for these speakers by the membership here, and the huge following out there fore the SDA models, that someone from Polk might at least consider a run of 1c's as a nostalgia product.... I could be persuaded to buy a pair in the 3k price range.

    Hey guy's the new boards have been in for a while and I still have to get them packed and shipped to @VR3 and @westmassguy. I'm going to try and get that done this weekend/first of the week.

    Sorry for the delay but I got some new shoes the end of may and about a week later my feet started hurting really bad, It turns out with the normal (for me) swelling of my feet when I'm up in my chair that the new shoes had caused my feet to blister so I had stay in bed with my feet raised until they healed (fun NOT!). Luckily the blisters didn't pop, if they had it could have turned really ugly. Sometimes I think my misspent youth is coming back to bite me in the ****. Oh well that's life. :wink:

    Im showing up to the party late! To the new owners defenses their is so much to read and so little time. I know this is not a huge market as this is VINTAGE. But people are going to need parts. To my own defense i have not even opened my sdas yet and i have owned them for 7 years.

    Keep stuff around new members will get to them soon.. I promise i will.

    Now that would be interesting, but now that Polk owned by DEI Holdings that would never happen. They seem to be into more small portable products now.

    I know. It' sad really, that a maker of great speakers is reduced to making earbuds for ungrateful video gamers and hipsters that could not recognize good sound if it bit them on the keister.

    But look a little deeper and you'll see that DEI is owned by Charlesbank or some other such entity, who probably have zero interest in electronics except for when someone tries to hack their IT system...

    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I would be interested in three sets for 1.2TL, 2.3 (non TL) & 1C's. But I would eventually have either Trey or David do the mods for me. So I'm not sure how that factors into the count you need. Would I be better off purchasing just the boards from you, VR3 or Westmassguy when they are available and then send the boards to those guys when I decide to upgrade the crossovers just to be safe and make sure I have them when needed? Thank you.

    Hey guys and gals, The new boards are packed and should be going out in the morning to @VR3 (Trey) & @westmassguy (David), Hopefully they should have them by this weekend.

    Those interested should buy from Trey or David as I'm pretty hard to get hold of due to my on going health issues. I guess 35+ years in a wheelchair are finally catching up with me, Such as Life.

    I didn't think that it so easy! I thank for an explanation. I hope I'll do it from the first without mistakes.

    Absolutely.....I think.

    These boards are pure genius, and make upgrading your crossover a piece of cake, unless you are certifiably insane like VR3.... where has he been anyway?

    So why wasn't the quote removed from my post or my post just removed altogether?

    And since it was "SPAM", where was the link from the other poster trying to sell something? :p

    Thanks for the plugs guy's, @westmassguy (David) at DHS Speaker Service still has some left for sale most likely the last that will be made.

    @nooshinjohn I think VR3 (Trey) decided to go and just do his one off high dollar crossovers, I'm not sure as I've not heard from him.
