Posts: 184
Well I received my care package from Dave and eagerly went installing the new crossovers, tweeters, etc...after everything was installed I noticed I wasn't getting and movement from the top left woofer in the right speaker when I pressed the PR. Well long story short I am desperately looking for a replacement woofer for my 1C's as it looks like the magnet has shifted somehow during the modification process. Let me know what you guys cab come up with. Thanks

I think Polk sells a MW6511 replacement still. Give them a call tomorrow.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Really! I will call tomorrow but my offer still stands for a fellow Polkie to come to the rescue. Would love to get a time accurate replacement. I'm sentimental like that

They're $50 brand new. You never know who around here might have an original 6511 "sitting around" though. Consider yourself lucky that you have the new option though! The MW6600X's in mine are rare. If something happens, I'm screwed. afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Nope your not screwed in any way. I have 8 of them and just seen 9 in the last 2 month's on fleabay..... They are more common then you realize, although they do come in spurts.The MW6600X's in mine are rare. If something happens, I'm screwed.

Really? I did a search of sold listings and it only showed one. What do you search for when you're finding them?afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Original 6511's are somewhat hard to come by. They are out there but will take time to hunt one down. Buy a replacement from Polk and keep searching for an original. Use the new replacement as a spare once you find that original. I have an original as a spare, and it took me some time to find it.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -
fine

I just search Polk mw to see all that come up. Most of the time the sellers have them listed wrong. Waaay wrong like the say fits RTA. That is why my searches are just Polk MW , I have also seen them as 6501 but the dead giveaway is the black label. Although RTA isn't really wrong as they were used in RTA 12.

Okay. I usually search the way westmassguy searches and they rarely come up. There's a single woofer for sale right now that looks beat up and I don't know how far back in time the advanced search for "sold" listings go back but there's also only one on that.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

I do not even know how to do that...(sold listings) they may of not sold they were kinda high to be honest like 50 bones. I bought all mine 3-4 years ago, still I do see them once in awhile.
I'm sorry OP didn't mean to hijack....you'd be well served to get new replacement those really don't come up often and when they do they fly right out fast. That is why I just search the way I do so to see and pass along here asap. -
No worries...

I'm looking from my phone on the way back from Ft. Lee Virginia it looked clean to me also. I'd hit up the seller to ask questions if I was in the market.
