    I love those inductors. I have used a few, and the added bass is very nice.
    Enjoy!

    Really enjoying.. I ended up using high density 1/8" thick x 1/4" high density foam tape weatherstrip to reseal all drivers. Two strips around each speaker. Orgasmic!

    Not to thread hijack, but what are the saw "score-cuts" in the panels for? I'm assuming that they are possibly for changing/reducing panel resonance. The pic above clearly shows the saw "score-cuts" in the panels. My SDA's have the cuts, by my monitors don't.

    Probably to save on wood. No really, I have no idea, maybe they got a good deal on the material hehe.. maybe someone else will chime in on this. All I know is I didn't want and mounting bracket screws going into that slot! Peace...

    Very nice work domesda2b! I like how you put everything on a new mount. New inductors is interesting. I never had the initiative to try it. Maybe too much fear of the unknown. It looks like you re-sealed the perimeter with glue. Is that Liquid Nails or what?

    Welcome to club Polk!:)

    Welcome to club Polk!:)

    Apparently it's a factories attempt at a hot melt glue gasket.. Ok, my right sda speakers passive sub is weaker than the left. I replaced made up new tweeter seal, sealed binding posts and connect cable socket. Still not as strong as right! makes me wonder if a factory hot melt glue seam is bad? Interesting question. No I did not put that glue around the inside! I'm going to take everything out of the box wires and things and then dump a gallon of something or other inside and shake it around. Hmm does one of those giant size warehouse clubs sell giant packs of hot melt glue? But where would I find a gun big enough I'd have to cook it outside in a pot or on the stove and pour it in...:D

    Ok I think I fingered out the mystery of the weak right channel passive sub. I had the green and blue wires switched on the right 6511 driver. Ooops I did a.. Happens to the best of us. Sounds much better now:)
