Hi!
I'm looking at an RD0194 (on the left) and an RD0198 (on the right) and don't see any distinguishing features. Is there a way to tell them apart other than the good word of the seller or the markings on the box? They look pretty identical to me.

yes RD-0198 has two different sized tabs to hook up the wires. RD-194 both tabs are the same small size.

Cool! I'll take a closer look.

@Gardenstater Cool thread! I'll read through it.

The RD-0198 sounds better . lol

That's what they say but apparently the crossover would need to be modified with appropriate inductors and those are not readily available?

You should be able to source any parts you need for a vintage set of Polks. What model and what are you wanting to do ?

I have the following Monitors: 7, 10, 12, 8T. I'd definitely want to replace the SL tweeters on them. The pair that I'd like the most maybe would get the RD0198? Possibly other mods. Also definitely recap 'em.
