Why are there TWO sets of red/black inputs on the back of my speakers??
Hi folks; total noob here. I just got some of the polk RM40ts and am a little perplexed by something that is probably obvious. With ever speaker I've ever owned, it's been pretty simple: run the speaker wire from the receiver to the speaker, and as it splits in two, insert the black end to the black input and the red side to the red input.
How come there are FOUR total inputs on the back of these speakers? Two for black, two for red (or +/-)
Feel free to laugh at me for not knowing what's going on, as long as you help provide answer as well!

Re: Parasound JC2 BP preamp
I've had the JC2 BP for a few weeks now & I'm kicking myself for not picking it up sooner. A perfect match for the A21+ amp.
Dead silence & a blacker than black background. Superb sounding (using XLR cables) my music never sounded better. I was actually surprised at the difference it really made.
The HT bypass feature is great & super easy to switch back & forth between HT & 2 channel.
If you're on the fence...just go for it!!

Re: Best method to clean your speakers
I've never used anything besides a damp towel/washcloth. Repeated use of Windex or other harsh chemicals can lead to discoloration. Just ask the guy on eBay who sold a Sunfire amplifier that had turned *PINK* from repeated use of Windex....

This doesn't surprise me. Have you seen how young truck drivers are these days?BlueBirdMusic wrote: »
Inaugural run of Amtrak Mardi Gras service delayed by errant trucker

Updated Tue, August 19th 2025 at 10:40 AM__________________________________________Amtrak service returned to the Gulf Coast this morning with excitement, and a delay.
A truck in Gulfport became stuck on a crossing causing a 45-minute delay in the trains arrival in New Orleans.
A sign at the crossing warns of low ground clearance.
The delay affected both the westbound and eastbound trains, with the New Orleans to Mobile train arriving 35 minutes late.
My brother (not young at all) has been a long-haul trucker for decades. He tells a story of going through a re-certification a while ago, and a young 'certifier' was in the truck with him...giving instructions. Eventually, my brother had enough, turned to the guy and said, "Dude, I've driven more miles backwards than you have forwards, so just shut-up and let me do this."

Re: Polk ES15 rubber discoloration
I found this for sale, is this the same discoloration you mentioned? Is this still good?
The color looks different from what I see on google.
No, this looks white, I think is called blooming. The discoloration I mentioned is more likely "brownish". But as you can see the cotton removed it.
