Hi everyone.

I have an early pair of SDA 1 speakers. They have the SL1000 tweeters I believe. I just upgraded my SDA 1c speakers with new tweeters and wanted to put the SL2000 tweeters in my SDA 1s.

I took out the 1000s and put the 2000s in the place expecting to just screw them in, and they holes are a little off. If I drilled new ones in the place of the 2000s locations, they seem that they would intersect just slightly with the original holes.

Do I fill the old holes in and drill new ones? Do I slide the tweeters over just a bit and drill new holes? Any help or anyone every done this?

Thanks guys!

    Is it even worth it to upgrade to the peerless? Should i just be happy with the SL1000s and maybe do an x-over upgrade?

    Thanks

    Is there anyone out there with a surplus of peerless tweets? What are our other options nowadays?

    Forget the SL2000's, forget the Peerless (way overrated), get the RD0-1094-1's. You'll still have to enlarge the opening and relocate the screw holes, but well worth it.
