Just picked up a pair of 8TL's to use in my HT system and one of the drivers needs to be replaced with the correct driver. It's currently got some non-polk driver in there. Will post pictures later...
So what I read, the 6516 is the correct driver and they are very hard to find.. Does anyone on this forum have an extra lying around? If not... Is there a replacement driver that would be the best match?
Thanks!
Using these with 5JR+ (with RDO-198) as the surrounds.
As well as another 5JR+ I am planning to mod the crossover to also use a SL2500/RDO198 tweeter and use as a center channel.

eBay is about the only place you'll find salvaged woofers. Do a saved search for the driver. When one is listed, you'll get an emailHome Theater/2 Channel:
