With the proper modifications, the original 2s can be quite formidable. The Dimensional tweeter should be disconnected.OldSchoolPolk wrote: »SDA II listed on Raleigh's CL for $100. No affiliation, unless of course I buy them.

But there's my question. Don't know much about SDA's and this seems too good to be true. I can't keep up with all the SDA models. Are the SDA II a lower end iteration?
Do the twin tweeters smear the image, do the mids have to be balanced between SD and non-SD. Thanks for the insight.Home Theater/2 Channel:

Thanks WMG. Would've never thought of just disconnecting the Dtweeter. Would disconnecting them change the impedance the crossover sees?
Anything else to check when I go look at them? Ad did not mention the SDA cable so don't know if he has it. Assuming all drivers work, even if they are a little beat, the price seems right correct? Of corse there's the pursuit of a common ground amp to power them. Until I get the proper amp I can power them w/ non common grd amp w/o using the SDA cable, correct?

They look pretty decent, just need a good cleaning. Disconnecting the tweeter will not affect the overall impedance. You will need a amp with common ground, and it must be able to handle 4 ohms or less safely. You can use them as a stereo pair, with a non-common groundOldSchoolPolk wrote: »Thanks WMG.
