Hey all,
I just got these 4 magnets (2 small, 2 large) for my old S4 speakers from Polk Parts. How do I put them in? I tried placing them directly behind the tweeter and driver and the held good with the magnets, but I got serious distortion on my TV when I put the speaker close to it. Not exactly sure how to do this since no directions came with the magnets.
Thanks,

    You need to epoxy them in opposing direction(against the magnetic force).
    Ya know the way which pushs them apart the epoxy will hold them together.

    I always thought it would be funny as hell to watch someone do this. What kind of expoxy is going to set so strong and fast that it is going to hold oposing magnets. Ha! :D

    Cool how did it work for the TV?? I have ten on each side to do. What way is the easyer?

    Scott-Ya know the kind which comes in two parts and you mix? If you don't use it fast enough you can't even get the applicater out! HAHA!!

    I got the super glue epoxy (the kind that looks like two syringes) and you mix them up. They work great. Only thing is you gotta hold them in place for a few minutes. If you let go to early, the magnets will wan't to slide. But they hold great once they settle in.
