... a pair of 1.2TLs complete with AI-1 and bass braces. They already have the RD0 upgrade. They appear to need a replacement driver as one doesn't move when I push the passive, also I think there might be a small airleak to be fixed. They're pretty dusty and need a good cleaning. I know they have the original crossovers. Not real happy about how I got them, but my friends memory will live on.

Here's a few pics...

    Sorry for your loss. I am sure your friend would have wanted you to have them.
    Ben
    Please. 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
    Ben

    Sorry to hear about your loss, but those should be some fine speakers when you get things sorted out. Was your friend a Club Polk member? Anyone we know?
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    No, he was pretty much a hermit. He passed over a month ago, I made a post and received everyones condolences. Much appreciated.

    He was my best friend for over 20yrs.:cool: . He turned me on to Polk.

    I'm going to enjoy the 1.2s. I guess my 1Cs are going to my spare bedroom for now.

    I'll have some more info and questions on the speakers shortly.

    Thanks all.
