:D:D:DFinally my wait is OVER:D:D:D

This weekend I will be bringing home two 180lb towers of pure joy... the heavens have opened and delivered unto me a pair of SDA-SRS for which I am eternally grateful. And the best part is they were cheap and less than an hour from home:D:D:D

I will post pics when they get here and of course ask for lots of advice as I bring them up to 1.2t specs....

Long live the forum and Thank God for the SDA!!!

    Congrats on your "biggun's", do yourself a favor and read up on how the magnets can shift on the 6.5" mid/woofs rendering them useless and irreparable. This happens most often when they're being shipped and getting thumped around, I know there's a lot of 6.5s in those, but if you want to play it safe, you might want to remove them before transporting them. Good luck!:)

    As far as upgrades to go your speakers, you can upgrade the tweeters to the RDO194s and replace the caps and resistors in your crossovers. If you have any questions or want help with the crossovers, feel free to contact me, Ben (ben62670), or Jesse (F1nut), as we are all very helpful guys. :cool: Also, many people make or have built a new, larger gauge, SDA cable for sound upgrade purposes.

    thanks.jpg

    Already hit this newb with a five star Go to the Head Class official RT1 stamp. Although the Star Wars could be a thing. Well Dan will dig it.

    Enjoy the speakers I know I did for many years.

    Go Large or Go Home.

    Congrats:)
    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
