My SDA SRS 1.2 tl upgrade thread.
Figured i would start a thread as i start putting these together in the next few weeks. I will keep this updated as i go along. Ben is doing my x-over upgrade for me, as i will be doing everthing else. Really looking forward to hearing these 180lb beast's. I will be putting in the RDO 198's as well. I was also advised to use JB WELD on the drivers. I will be replacing the grill cloth.
As i posted in another thread i am remaking the x-over plates, "I think they look FANTASTIC with the red ink", and handles.The handles will be made out of 1/2 x 1/2 brass square bar, and i am also making the spikes out of 1" brass round bar.
Just thought i would share my excitment.:cool:
Thanks,
Larry.

Looks F***ing fantastic! Jo Ann's has the grill cloth.

Very Nice, Larry!
BTW...don't use the diamond plate....that's just wrong on so many levels. -
agreed on the diamond plate, unless they are going in a pickup truck or the sleeper on a big rig... can I get a set of those plates as well? I don't have the biguns yet but when I get them I will want a set...The Gear...

I'm not going to use the diamond plate, I just cut them for fun since I had the laser up and running. I thought Image Tec did a great job with the silk screening.Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

Oh man, I am going to enjoy this thread. SUBSCRIBED!!!
You're my hero...
You should produce several extra sets of those plates, I suspect you could make a lot of people happy with those.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance. -

I could make them and sell them but The last thing i want is a law suit from Polk Audio for selling their name. If they gave me the OK to make them for Polk Club members, Then i might do that.Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

I don't think you'd have anything to worry about, It's not like your making t-shirts. How many would you really sell, 2 dozen pairs, they'd all go to people on this forum anywayz
Thanks,
"True" 2 people already hit me up for them, and i would be ok with it ,then the thought of selling the name of Polk Audio hit me and i wondered if i would get in trouble for it.Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

It'll be cool to take Crossover plates like yours with Red letters to Polkfest 2011 and have Matt Polk Sign them!

I've got some left over stuffing in the freeze. Your more than welcome to it.:) -

While the drivers are out double check the hot glue integrity on the cross members. A few months ago I noticed rattling in the cabinet of the right channel in mine and when I checked inside one was loose so I had to hot glue it back in place.SDA SRS 2.3TL's

Usually, yes.I would have used wood glue instead.

I checked everything, everything looked good, I only got to the right channel today, the only thing i did find was one of the gaskets on one tweeter was folded over. it was not sealed 100%. I terminated the wires i needed too to accomidate the RDO 198's, and used mortite to seal the drivers, and the tweeters. I also cleaned the drivers, it is amazing the dirt / smoke that comes off of them. I really like the look of the RDO's over the SL's.Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

How'd you do that? Is there a recommended procedure for doing this?Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
