I've noticed how highly many folks regard the 1Cs and felt like sharing a pic of mine. Sorry for the crap photography... I'm a beginner.


...Unfortunately, I don't have the DK Dreadnaught, but I do utilize the baked potatoe.:cool:

    They are all original drivers, RDO tweeters , upgraded grill cloth and crossovers. Several club members will tell you not to, but I'm running two amps mono (right now, at least). Rated at something like 635 wpc. They sound sweet, believe me.:cool:

    It's an AI-1 interconnect cleverly shielded by aluminum foil. It allows a much greater choice of amplification when compared to the stock pin/blade cable. ;)

    You should see my wood floors here. No friggen concern about quality. When I did carpentry I would have been fired for not crowning the joists! !C's are sweet!
    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
    Ben

    Nice! I'm looking for a set of 1C's. I just bought a pair of CRS +'s and was warned I'd be looking to move up (slippery slope!). Congrats!
