Need help sda crs compact no blade blade interconnect

Hi all want to test these without cooking my amp. SDA CRS compact pair they are small blade /larger blade connections.I know polk offers this cable but i just want to make up a quick cable to test the sda drivers and tweeters.Info on wire color to small blade/large blade would be helpful and connection small blade to small blade i assume large blade to large.The interconnect plugs are both cracked at bottom and previous owner said he was going to order a schematic and fix them so i dont know what they have changed.I just want to be sure so i can check wire colors/blade connection be sure they have been swapped.Thanks my amp thanks you dearly.

Oh well went ahead made a interconnect from stranded 18 gage speaker wire and guess what no majick.Still sda drivers and tweeters not playing. So much for add a cable at least I didnt drop 40 bucks for a cable to get disappointed.Guess they dont sound too bad without sda sides not playing at all.Seems like a big waste not having half the speaker playing.:(

It is just a two wire hookup with big-big and small-small. The connector itself is available from a company called Cinch, but two wire work just as well for testing purposes.

Anyone ever by passed the sda part to get the other 2 drivers playing. Could you just run wires from working side to SDA drivers?

Have you taken the drivers out and tested them with a volt meter and/or if the drivers work hooked up straight to the speaker wire from the amp?

Shouldnt i hear something from at least one of the four non working drivers with interconnect test cable hooked up

You would think so but you just have to diagnose things out. Who's to say something isn't undone on the inside of the cabinets. It wouldn't hurt to look.
