Polk Speakers Parts List

If there is enough interest, I was thinking about creating a sticky that has the parts list for all Polk speakers. I feel this would be a good resource for anyone who is rebuilding or modifying their speakers. It would take me a little while to compile, but if members are interested, I'd be willing to do it.

Absolutely a great idea. Thank you.

That is a fantastic idea that would be much appreciated!

Great idea!!

Yes!! Thanks!!

That would be an awesome idea. One problem is that some older Polk's are not completely true to the model they are listed as. There are some transition models that very slightly. Also I see trouble with people not identifying what they have properly. It is best to open your speakers to see what is inside. A how to sticky with links to some of the better work done by Polkies would be a great addition if this does fly.
Thank Jake.
BenPlease. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

I have some time today to start compiling lists. You make a good point Ben I will make sure to post some sort of disclaimer or warning that not every parts list is applicable to every speaker, just a good guideline.
Thanks for the links Las and I'll use them to save me a little work. -
Is this list available still? I know I am a little late.

Well then the list for the SDA 2 wouldnt be available by chance yet would it? I think I have a problem with my crossover on my left channel. The array speakers stopped working the other night. Tested the drivers and they are working fine.

There are schematics posted here for nearly every Polk speaker made on which you will find all the parts. You can also look at the actual crossover and see the same info.Political Correctness'.........defined

It would be good to be able to cross reference drivers in particular. It'd be nice to have a list compiled so you could easily see what alternative drivers could be used in different speakers.In terms of audio, i truly feel sorry for the visually impaired. How can they know what they like if they cant read google?

The schematics for the SDA/Monitor series show what drivers are used, I'm not sure about the others. That said, there are no alternative drivers. For example, if your speaker uses a MW6510, no other MWxxxx driver will match it.Political Correctness'.........defined

Raife recommends using Monster Z2 for the SDA IC upgrade but he says to use the same wire that you used to connect your amps to the speakers.
Same gauge wire, not necessarily the same wire. Some of you guys are running some fairly expensive speaker cable.;)Proud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country! -
POLK AUDIO - Speaker Parts List
This is a sticky on the top of the DIY, Mods, Tweaks for anyone who wants the parts lists separate from the schematics. -
Thats what I need. Thanks Zingo. Now I can order these and install them myself without too much trouble? Do you think that someone should tackle this without experience?
