Houston, my SRS 3.1's have a problem.

My granddaughter found something interesting to tug on. Unfortunately her curiosity wounded my SRS 3.1TL's. As you can see the speaker post is snapped off.

What's the best way to fix it? Are these a standard item I can buy somewhere? I use all 4 terminals since I have it bi-amped.

    Easy fix.

    Replace them all! 😁

    All kinds of brands, wbt, cardas, cheap Chinese ones, Dayton, world's your oyster! Don't even need to know how to solder. Just need plyers, a hot glue gun and patience!

  • That's a relief. I just opened it up and I think even I can do it. I took a quick look online and the prices for these are all over the place. By the looks of it Polk didn't use anything very fancy/expensive

    I'm not actually in Houston. I just borrowed the line from Apollo 13 for dramatic effect. Their problem was probably bigger than mine, plus I can get what I need to fix it delivered.
