Hello everyone:

I need a tweeter for one of my RT55i's...

The part number is SL6506 but I believe Polk has revised that number since these were made. If any one has a spare (I would be willing to buy a pair) for a good, fair price--please get in touch.

I will pay for shipping (of course) if I can't pick it up, and I can pay you via Paypal...

Many thanks for your help... :D

    Sorry for the bump... :rolleyes:

    Does anyone know if I can use a tweeter say from, an RT35, or RT38, since I believe they are the same components??? --or an RT25???

    PS: I know I should be posting this in tech help--sorry... :confused:

    I don't think that you'll find any of the parts for the 55's.....

    Put a call into CS and they can get you pricing. Mention to them (BEFORE YOU ORDER) that you're a Club Polk Member and they will give you a discount.

    Polk Audio still carries Tri lam tweeters --
    and yes the RT35i uses the same tweeter as the RT55i, baffle and all.

    The RT35 and RT55 DO NOT******** use the same tweeter, as the baffle is smaller in that series.

    The RT25i does NOT use the same tweeter, no baffle - it uses screws.

    Ken will hook you up. Tweeters are pretty expensive though, even with the discount and free second day air. FWIW

    Thanks for your help...I did call CS and it's a whopping $70 (club price) for the tweeter, I was hoping someone would have a spare, and let it go for a better price...

    Guess I will have no choice--good sound can be pricey :D

    actually good sound is rather cheap, abusing your speakers is where it gets pricey.
