New (to me) speaker day!

I found these a few hours away from me. I went and got the 4th July week. Very nice condition as well. Will need to find 2 MW6503's though. In the pic there are 6 Midwest drivers in the left speaker. The owner gave me 4 working 6503's that I have not installed yet. He said the tweeters are RD0198's. I have not pulled a driver to check. Can anyone confirm they are 198's?
So far I am very very pleased with the $1000 I gave for them.

Nice find. You'd have to pull the tweeters and check the terminals.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

Only way to tell is by looking at the connection tabs. 198's are two different sizes.

They could be 194’s. Based on the crossover plates, they are not TL’s so the tweeters should be the RD0194.The Gear...

Damn nice score….
Enjoy em for a bit then dive in head first with upgrades. -
Still a great deal even for the original SRS version. For $1K you got six more tweeters than on a pair of run of the mill bookshelf speakers!

That's unreliable, some SRS 1.2's were sold with the 13 bolt crossover plate. Easiest way to figure it out is if it has a blade/blade IC socket. If so, then they are 1st gen SRS since Polk never made a blade/blade SRS 1.2.SDA SRS 2.3TL's

They look nice, congrats!
They seem like an upgrade from the two speakers in the front there...

Wether or not they are the original SRS’s or 1.2’s those tweeters should be 194’s..

But if by some of chance they are 1.2 I would keep the tweeters as 198 and convert the crossover to the 1.2tl- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

The IC is blade/blade.--Gary--

Definitely first gen
I have heard the first gen decked out and they can easily hang with a set of decked out 1.2tl- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

For a small mortgage loan maybe
Some of those values on the first gen in a duelund cast or jdm would be more then some mortgage payments- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
