Well, it has been long enough, it's time for me to get back into a pair of SDA's. To make this journey a possibility, I must pass my RTA's on to another forum member. These speakers have been completely gone through with all the possible modifications, with the exception of the Larry's rings. (These have been assembled with Hurricane nuts instead).

They are about as perfect as you could hope for. I will try to get some pics up soon. I prefer local pickup, but if you are willing to pay whatever the cost would be to package/ship them, I'll do it.

My location is New Castle, Indiana 47362. I'd be willing to drive an hour or so to meet someone for an exchange.

$500 (Possibly interested in trades, depending on what you got!)

    You're not getting me to drive to Indianapolis again that easily! ;)

    I miss these speakers a lot. Whoever ends up with them will get some fantastic speakers at a great price.

    @ZLTFUL‌ You wouldn't be driving to Indianapolis, you'd be driving to Brownsburg. Thats a BIG difference :smiling_imp:

    Here is what I found He did:

    With 198s, upgraded crossovers using Decato's mods, hurricane nuts, armacell, JB Weld on the magnets and dynamatted the baskets.

    Here is the thread he references "decato mods"

    I do have the materials to ship these if someone is interested enough to pay what it would cost for shipping!

    I can tell you that between the mods and my original purchase price, the asking price is way less than what I feel they are worth.

    I agree. These would make someone an AMAZING pair of Polks. And a buyer wouldn't have to worry about doing any work to them at all. I don't think anyone will find a better deal!

    If you were closer, I would seriously consider trading my stock SRS 2's for these, I have other SDA's I can use and I've always wanted a pair of 15TL's.

    Bump, the price on these is with all that is done seems really good.

    NM, I noticed you'd already posted about the same lead and you'd found it to come up short...
