I just bought a pair of the Reference signatures and need the cable,the speakers have the blade to blade connector ,can I make my own and if so do I wire one wire to large blade and then one to small and keep them the same on both ends.

Big blade to big blade small to small. If you do it as you described you will be very sorry.
Call polk cs they used to send out after market ends for you to make your own. They may very well still make them. There will be a charge if they still make the complete cable. It will be a ton less than the folks on eBay charge for the cable -
That is why I am asking ,because I do not know,I will call Polk on Monday and see if they sell the parts or sell the complete cable.

True but I thought it might be a bit much. Without knowing abilities it just might be way over complicated.
-
I need it simple, these speakers sound great without the cable.I want to take them to the next level without doing any damage.Thanks

Wait until you have the cable if you think they sound good now!
Call Polk Customer Service ask for Kim Jasper he is the man

If simple, talk to Polk first
2nd option suggestion would be the speakon conversion IMHO
Drill hole in connection cup, few female spade crimps, and your up and running
We can walk you through

My speakers have the connection under the connection cup.

4 calls today to Polk customer service and each time had a wait of over 20 mins, twice calls were cut off before reaching tech support.Can anyone tell me how to make the cable that goes between the speakers.I thought if I wired one wire to large blade to other large blade and other wire to each small blade and member told me I would be sorry,so I guess I should hook on one end a large blade and hook the other end to the small blade .
-
You want to connect the large blade to large blade, small blade to small blade. Your amp must be common ground.
Cinch sells a terminal that will make things easier for you.

No i told you DO NOT go from large blade to small blade !!! Keep large blade to large blade. SMALL BLADE TO SMALL BLADE.
GO to auto store find spade connector that are the right size for both connector holes. Crimp on wire. Think of it this way LARGE blade is POSITIVE and. SMALL blade is NEGATIVE so IF your using speaker wire most is marked positive and negative put larger blade (spade connector) on positive side Put smaller blade ( spade connector) on negative side.

I would like to thank everyone for their help in making a cable to us with just SDA SRS-2 speakers.I have made a temporary cable while I wait for better ends.The difference in sound is amazing.Here is 3 pictures of the speakers,I plan on moving them to my listening room this weekend..

Remember SDA's run parallel to the wall no toe in. 5-6 inches off the wall

Pitdogg2, thanks for your suggestions with setup,when I get everything setup I will post a small video .

I finally found the time to properly setup the SDA-SRS 2's today and after trying different placement of the speakers they are sounding great withn plenty of bass and crystal clear highs.

Speakers look MINT.
DO WHAT F1NUT, Jessie, suggested ! Order two of these, I did years ago and made a better cable since the end blades on my connector cable were very loose and questionable. It's cheap and EASY ! Cinch connector

Maybe the tweeters will be OK for a while to you. ENJOY !Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I ordered 2 of those connectors and made my own cable,I cleaned up the cabinets and lightly stained them due to a dull finish,I then had to use a glue gun to tighten up the grill on one speaker,both speaker connectors were in bad condition,so I replaced them -
Fantastic.
Your SRS2's look GREAT !Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Thanks Tony,when I first post my ad for advice another member ask me to post pictures of my speakers.I will post pictures of my complete system when I have everything set up.
