Hi all,

My tweeter has gone out on on one of my RT2000p's and I want to replace it. I know the original SL6502 tweeters are no longer produced, and it looks like the RD2516-1 is the current replacement driver? If that is correct how do you go about getting one? Does Polk sell these directly? These are obviously not under warranty at this point (purchased 1999).
I tried The Interwebs but only saw eBay postings for that tweeter.

Thanks

    You could call Polk customer service and order 2 of the replacement tweeter. Mention you are a member here and get a small discount and free shipping iirc

    The replacement, if still available, is from the rtixx series which was a silk dome. The tri lam in your speaker is a far superior tweeter

    Yeah, I was wondering about that. Do you have a recommendation for something that is as good or a little better than the tri laminate SL6502?
