    Others have tried these.

    Measure your opening to see if they are the right size. With either you may need to notch the cabs so the wires can fit, and the screws may not line up. Let us know if you try them.

    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

    Why not just get the RD0194-1 direct from Polk? They are the same cost and will be a better "sonic" fit although not a direct sonic replacement. I'm told it requires the use of a dremel tool to slightly enlarge the cabinet opening.

    That's what I'd recommend as the tried and true procedure.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Please disregard post #2. I just checked the schematic, and the 5 with the peerless uses the MW6502 with the 1.55mh inductor. This would place the XO point below the 2.5k minimum recommendation the tweeter I pointed out has. Wish I could edit:(
