    MORE POWER!!! :D Thanks for posting the photos. So you are replacing the wires from the binding posts to the crossover?

    Jeff at Soniccraft suggested I pick up a Weller 8200 Solder Gun ($30 @ Lowes) for soldering to binding posts.

    Cool....The weller was 18.00 + 3.00 shipping and at that price its a bargain.

    This sucker gets red hot and I mean it has a nice cherry red glow when you pull that trigger.
    I had no problem getting the posts hot enough to make a nice solder joint.
    And now that Im done I can listen to some music again.Its been almost a week.:eek:

    Wow ,I wasnt expecting Better SQ but I got it.Its subtle but I can hare it,,,its like more is getting throug.Dont know if the eichmanns or the oxidized wire ends I cut off that gave me an improvement but I like it.
    Now I just have to plan a complete rewire of the speakers with some of that new furutech alpha hook up cable (its too expensive) stuff.16 awg to keep it like polk designed them,,,,,just new wire.
