ok guys, To be honest I found my newer speakers to help my needs. I am looking to only get my money back for my modded 1C's...first come first serve...they sound great!

- (4) new RDO-194 tweets
- darn near mint condition wood capped 1-C's..
- our awesome in house Polkie (Ben) did a complete crossover upgrade..kick ****!


I am asking $900, which is exactly what I paid...I have the original IC cable and original boxes....I am now the second owner. PM me if you are interested!

Dan

    Honestly, Ben would know this answer better...but the capacitors and resistors were upgraded using sonicap's.

    If Ben worked on this, let's just say it's about as good as it gets. I would certainly consider this pair myself! I'd love to pick up a fully modded pair of 1Cs...don't have the coin and not in the U.S. currently. So, good luck with the sale...they really do look mint! 1Cs are about all I can accommodate in my house...I'm having enough trouble finding enough space for my 2Bs! IMO the 1C is the perfect size for MOST applications much bigger and you REALLY need some airplane hanger spaces!

    Thanks CNH for confirming how good Ben's work is!...Just so everyone knows, I live in the Cleveland area. These 1C's are in as good of condition as you can ever find. I love the upgrades and thought this was my answer. I just happen to run across a set of mint 2.3TL's that won the battle and aren't as big as the full size SRS's. Don't worry, I will for sure keep these if nobody from this site wants them. They are WAY to good to ever put on CL or Fleabay. My goal is help a fellow Polkie out!

    Would love to bring these back to Canada but not sure how long it would be before the wife served me with the ultimatum - her or the speakers and that is a tough one to answer.

    The speakers look great. So does the Cleveland Browns blanket....

    How quickly are you looking to sell them?

    Don't tell to many people this, but I made that Browns blanket (don't worry it wasn't for fun, my ex-girl and I made them for the entire family one x-mas years ago...ha ha)

    In a perfect world these can go tomorrow, but I have no problem hanging on to them if someone on here really has the interest. I understand needing time to work up the extra money first.

    Got the XO boards back fully upgraded right from Ben, and installed them without taking a pic. I know sonicaps for sure....but if you want me to open the PR and take a pic so you can see more details just Let me know!

    I think Ben likes Sonic and Daytons, Daytons for the lows. My guess is this is what he used..
