I have a blown tweeter on a set of R50's. I'm looking into a replacement or upgrade. Tried emailing tech support but no answer and it's been about a week if not more.

Any suggestions on a replacement or if there are tweeters still available as oem replacement?

    Call Polk CS and mention you are a Club Polk member to get the discount. They should have them for you.

    +1 on Ben's comments. Calling is always the best option, E-mail is not a good idea. I can only imagine the backlog on that. Give em a call first thing Monday morning and I'm sure they will take care of you.

    Yea, I was avoiding the phone... but I'll give it a shot. Are there problems with these tweeters? I don't really play it loud at all due to a 2 year old in the home.
    The left tweeter started to make this weird loud crackle then just died. The temp replacement from an old set of paradigms I have in there is working fine, just won't fit in the hole due to a much larger magnet. First time I've had a speaker fail unless it was me being an idiot and forgeting to stand it back up after moving things around.

    thanks for the welcome!

    So I heard back from the customer service and they are stating that my model has the RD1503-1 tweeter at about 1/4 the cost of buying a new set of R50s from frys. The ones that I removed say RD5616-5.

    What's the difference?
