    You can pick up any small amp feed it with a small capacitor in the input, ( very small cap. google for high impedance crossover points) and just set the whole tweeter on top and see if it helps !

    That would be the way to go!

    Sorry you don't like my answer, but there is a lot more to speakers than guessing. Go ahead and try, but just doing it right and having it right is the way to go. There is way more to speaker design than just playing with XO points. I have done many different speaker designs, and tweaks. Lobing, phasing, axis, and baffles also have a lot to do with it. Get a speaker design book and get your read on.

    No,nothing to be sorry about! I just didn't have a snappy comeback and thought the angry face best reflected my consternation on the whole subject: Having a great piece and lacking the money,knowledge and experience to do anything with it before ultimately they would probably have to go to pay for other pressing things..but it would have been nice to at least hear them and appreciate what they could do if I could have accomplished it relatively easily.But hey,I did find them and I can sell them,and that ain't too bad!

    I'm getting nothing and I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.Am searching tags,threads,posts with SDA-1B,SDA-1B upgrade,updates,SDA-1B crossover,SDA,SDA upgrade,updates,crossover....Nothing.

    Simply put, the forum's search engine won't work with 3 characters or less. And it won't work with hyphens or periods (and probably some other punctuation). You can however use the * wildcard such as SDA*
    Or you can use Google and limit your search to the polk site. IMO you'll get better results.
    An example to type in to Google: sda crossover site:polkaudio.com
    You can get more crafty with the search terms on google to further narrow the search down.
