    @verb,
    So are the Tnuts you're offering for Karma, M6 x 1.0 mm? Or 1/4" x 20tpi?

    @verb,
    Well I could use 12 iffen you're willin'. Guessing here you could instal them similar to the hurricane nuts, torque 'em in from the inside with a little hammer persuasion.
    With my 2.3s I'm thinking 6 spikes a speaker.

    I hear ya :smile: My buddy doesn’t know it yet but I plan to give him my 2B’s as Karma! Time to get his toes wet in the world of vintage Polk! He’s actually been visiting CP but not yet joined. Hope he does soon.

    So for me, I’ll have a nearly stock set of 1C’s (RDO-194 mod only) and when finished a completely hot rodded set. I’m very excited to do some direct comparisons between them!

    Besides Karma always comes around!

    Why on earth would you need 6 spikes per speaker? Glory be Jesus I mean if you're using 6 might as well add 1 to the middle and go 7....

    Christmas at @verb's house today!

    My goodies from @westmassguy arrived today. All I can say is David knows how to pack stuff for shipping! Literally triple boxed, with the individual components double bagged, and other smaller items double bagged and boxed within the big box! Whew!
    He even had placed cardboard spacers in between my new inductors and the wire leads! Did I mention the inductors were also wrapped tight in cardboard before the double bag and box? Wow! First impression of the package - Heavy. Nice. :smile: Pics to follow. It's gonna take a while to unpack!
