Not having any problems yet but was wondering if any of these would work in my 2.3tl's? I was going to place a PE order soon and was going to throw some of these on here if they would work.

    Take them out and jumper it with good quality wire. You don't need them...

    Yes they are a huge compromise, but with all due respect I would qualify that advice.

    --- If you have clean audio sources and are reasonable about turning your volume down if you sense distortion, remove and "jumper" them.

    --- If you crank it with reckless abandon and/or have low quality sources/amps/etc., replace them.

    I did from previous threads but after just spending $300 for new 198's and my luck I figured all the insurance I can get. Polk CS is awesome sent me 4 new ones and got them in two days! I will install when I really get bored.
