    If you can get them for 600 it would be a great deal, and you will like them. let us know how it goes. stick around some useful info on this place.

    I cringe at the thought of what might happen to those in transit. Just for kicks, how much to ship to 19606? We can take this to PM if you'd like.

    I told you what these should go for if you were going to sell them locally, but if you want to try and sell here you need 25 posts firsts.

    Congrats,thats a good deal. I don't have my wall mounts and probably would not use if I did, to much of a pain in the **** to set up as it is anyways. Post some pics when you get them.

    Will do plus may need some help with the set up cuz for now I will have a less than ideal room for them.Also just found another set of sda's 1b's I think few scraps and no grills might be able to pick them up around $125 what you guys think?

    125? if all is well besides a few scratches and grills I would say go! I you need a manual on the 2.3's which includes ideal set-up let me know and I will send you all that I have on them. You will like the 2.3's I sure like mine.

    I make an interconnect cable for $45 shipped.
    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.

    I would think it would be better IMO

    just make sure whatever amp/receiver you drive any SDA's with is a common ground amp
