If you use H Nuts, ensure that you use the penetrating epoxy on the edges first and let it dry properly before you attempt the h nuts remount. Apply the epoxy to both the rim on which the basket sits, as well as the edge that goes into the speaker. I used moretite caulk to replace the gaskets. Use moretite only if you use the penetrating sealant as if you dont, the particleboard will break off sticking to the moretite. As I said earlier, go with cheaper binding posts as long as they are decent quality and aesthetically pleasing... again Dayton makes a decent product. Definitely not Cardas quality - but you are not going to discern any audible difference here.
Sorry..... I post before reading your comment.. Thanks for the info. -

I used them for my Monitor 10s and was very happy with them. -
By the way, i can still order RD0-198 from Polks? Do they still carry them, or i will need to order from other site?

Do you feel alone ? Lmao. I thought I post useless post & I do. But read this a few times & all I can do is scratch my head
I am not even sure what you are replying to......??
I said I had used Dayton caps and outside this forum (in reference to what someone else said) Dayton caps are well regarded.
What do you not understand??
I am scratching my head about why you even replied TO THAT comment -

Hi F1, there is no 0.5ohm for Vishay Mills 12watts, I only see 0.5omhs for Vishay Mills 5watts. Does it work for 5 watts? -
The original resistors are 5 watt rated, so yes that one will work. Otherwise you could use this one, http://www.soniccraft.com/product_info.php/047-ohm-mills-mra-12-p-690Political Correctness'.........defined

Hi all, i have been enjoying my SDA 2B with 194 tweeter replaced a few years back. Am now doing TL upgrade with Gimpod board.
One board completed as below. Am i doing correctly. Need advise as i could not find any sample photo of the completed SDA 2BTL mod with Gimpod board anywhere online.
Thank you -
I can't be of any help but I am almost certain you are missing some jumpers- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

See below
E to h, j5, j2, j1
You can also remove j1 and go to a 5 pin and introduce bi wire connections

Thanks a lot VR3. This picture helps a lot. Always good to verify if unsure. 😊

Done up the mod and fully installed. Fire up with no issue. As expected, sound awesome.
Once again, thank you all for the advise and sharing for the TL mod.

I would put this as the #1 item, anyone has done for this place, happy that I purchased a couple sets of them.. -
I missed out. Those are amazing.

I found them in PartsConnextion
Great to hear that. I was initially plan to use Dayton, but after reading the threads, some were saying to go for Clarity PX which is just a little more price differences 😀
Hel-hockey stick use oil filled for the 40uF and 20uF and save a heap o dough for your tweeter caps. Almost no ESR, very high voltage, and last forever and a lifetime. They were good enough for Paul. My 2b's sound absolutely fantastic with any amplifier. Probably my favorite speaker.
