First I would like to thank everyone who helped me through this. Just got to here'um for the first time, and it was good. can anyone tell me about the screw and washers that go into the back of the passive radiator. what effect does adding, or subtracting weight do to it's response? My common sense tell's me "less weight=tighter bass" but I'm not shure. anyone?

Seeing as the original Polk PR's didn't have that maybe Parts Express can help since they sold them to you. Mass in a PR usually has to do with tuning the freq based on the x-over and cabinet size, etc. Might have to do the old trial and error method.

Yes sir, I bet your right!! but after listening some more, I think they are pretty darn close just the way they are! I'm amazed at their clarity and imageing!! These are keepers for shure!!

Higher frequencies make the cone move in and out faster, but not as far. If you put your ear to the PR and hear things like voice coming out of them they are not the correct weight. To tune them experiment with different wights added to the pr. Its free just time consuming. Make sure you play a variety of music through them before deciding that the weight isn't right.

Good luck
Ben
