Polk audio model 4's modded?
Options
I picked up a pair of Polk audio model 4's recently and the crossover sticks out about a quarter of an inch from the speaker. they have little pieces of particle board someone put underneath where the screws go in the back not for screw holes but for support only. I took out the screws from the back of one of the speakers to fix it and found the reason they stick out is because they won't go all the way in without touching the back of the speaker. Any ideas? Thanks.

That's a bucking magnet, which you don't need since CRT's are long gone. It's glued on, so very carefully pry it off.Political Correctness'.........defined

Yes something about crt's. I think they were televisions which as you stated aren't really used anymore.
Yes that is how they shielded the driver so not to interfere with older CRT based TV's picture tube

Perhaps they replaced the original woofers & rigged the xover to clear them. Pics will tell the story.

I think you about nailed it the only thing I can't figure is if there different speakers are if they through a magnet over the top of the originals. Any thought? Pictures attached.

Magnets removed along with the Poke stickers they were glued to. Thanks F1nut. It seemed to improve the timber between my Polk model 4's and my Polk model 7's are perhaps it's all in my head who knows. Hahaha

I'd write the mw65xx number on the woofer magnet for future reference.

Thanks. If I can peel the sticker(s) off of one of the magnets I pulled off of the speakers I'll do that.
