    Larry,

    Thanks for meeting me and delivering the cases. I really appreciate it and couldn't be happier with them. It was cool to put the face with the posts and to meet the man responsible for the stellar projects you've offered CP.

    Please put me down for these:

    1 x CRS+ ring/tweeter set
    2 x tweeter brackets

    As always...thank you for taking care of your CP bro's!

    Where have YOU been... sheesh!:lol:

    The rings are among the best designed and most important upgrades you can make for your vintage SDA's, among other older Polk speakers. They provide for better driver coupling to the front baffle, and improved sound quality as a result.

    If you have older Polk speakers, including the SDA's and others from the same era, get in on these. I think these will be the last time this project is revisited.

    Will using the rings render the existing screw holes useless for any future use? Just curious if the holes need to be reamed. I understand the rings will pull the drivers tighter so wood screws will no longer even be needed but again just curious.

    He was spot on with my rings, all screw holes unchanged. The mdf was starting to come loose after 20 years in some places, so I sealed up some spots after installing the rings, but otherwise the holes lined up with the screw holes just fine.


    I would like to change my request from 1c's to srs 2. I snagged a pair of sda srs 2's! It has the same number of drivers as the 1c though, so I don't know if it makes a difference.

    I think the pictures in this thread will help to answer your question: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?103241-Steel-Retaining-Rings-For-SDA-Drivers-And-Passive-Radiators&highlight=dynamat

    From DK's write-up, it appears that the templates for drilling the holes for the rings are placed in such a way as to make the new hole right through where the old wood screw hole was. Yes, this way would render the existing screw holes useless for any future use, if that future use would entail using wood screws again. However, if one were so inclined - not really sure why they would be though - they could simply rotate the template to a position that put "new wood" (ie. no wood screw hole through it yet) behind the open template hole prior to drilling. This approach would put the driver or PR askew of its prior placement and does beg the question - Why would you want to do it this way? :confused:

    If you were to get the rings and for some reason (?) would, at a later date, decide that you wanted to go back to using wood screws to couple your drivers/PRs to the baffle, you could then just remove the steel retaining ring and rotate the driver or PR and drill new wood screw starter holes at that time.

    I think this answers your question, but again, why would you want to ever go back to using the wood screws? :rolleyes:
