Why the NL2's?
Is it because your customer's dreadnought is already setup with them, or do you find them to be superior to a good set of binding posts? -
NL2 fits in the old SDA connection better (its larger than the original hole) and I find the connection be far superior to binding post, IMO.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

For the cost of replacing the two inductors on the board and using the RDO-198's is a no brainier IMO...Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

The biggest concern was wait time and after talking with Polk's CS we felt it would not make a big enough difference considering we were using RDO replacements.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Better order mine now since it will be about 2-3 months when I do the crossovers. :razz: -

Do you use zip ties instead of hot glue for later replacement?

No tl
There is a run of hot glue under each component + zip ties
