Polk Audio SDA 1C [Archive]

For Sale -
SDA 1C - Cherry Maple Top and Bottom wood finish.
I have the connecting cable. Tweeters are the original tweets, not the upgraded version. Could use a fresh new grille cloth on the speakers. Works perfectly. I hate to get rid of these, but they are taking up room and have to go.
You will have to come pick up if you are interested. I live in Yonkers NY, 10710.

Asking $300.

You can check out my ebay rating if you are interested. Its Disco-Mike.

I have just took some pictures with a friends camera and uploaded just a few. If anyone is interested in seeing more, please email me.

Thanks much !

What's an SVS Galaxy Destroyer?

I think SVS had a 4 - 12" woofer box sub. Ships on one of those "Wide Load" 18 wheel trailers.

I thought it was like a Wave Motion Gun. Star Blazers-esque, or some such.

The SVS Galaxy Destroyer is the PB12 Plus/2 equipped with laser cannons. It can disintergrate anyone who gets in the way with ease. Comes in handy in sticky situations ! I really love this sub !

Cabinets are in good condition from what I can tell, no chipping, but I do notice that the sides are coming off the speaker. They will have to be reglued on. The grilles are in fair condition, it could use a makeover.

I have to get some pics, I am sorry that I do not have a camera at the moment, but I will try and get one from someone and put them up asap.

incredible speaks for he price. another 200 for upgraded tweets and that 500 total for sweet as sound. or, leave em stock, whatever. price is a no brainer. If I wasnt big speaker heavy at the moment I would snag em just to be in the SDA club again.

Mike,

I will take the 1C speakers for the 300.00 price you posted, your e-mail to me is a bit confusing, are you now saying you want me to pay you 500.00 for these speakers or is that with the sub galaxy thing?????

Ohskigod has agreed to pick them up for me. The pictures you sent me do show full disclosure and these are going to need some work as far as the looks department.

Man, why can't I find a friggin' pair of SDA's in Texas, Oklahoma or Arkansas (my territory for work)?!?!?!?! I'm watching some that are 700 to 900 miles away that I'd be willing to drive and get but if I don't have to, it would be nice! Heck, I travel (read drive) for work anyway so driving isn't a concern. Sheesh...lol

SDA's have the magical knack of showing up in your neck of the woods shortly after liberating a pair across the state line. Which model are you thinking of? This thread occasionally gets updated (but read the last post first). http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29951

P.S. Ted, glad to hear that your SDA glasses will be ON again. ;)

Well, I am waiting to hear from Disco. The posted price is 300.00 but he sent me an e-mail saying something about listening to them and wanting 500.00.

I dunno.

Hopefully it is just a missunderstanding. Changing one's mind and deciding to keep them is understandable...it happens all the time. Increasing the price mid transaction is not cool.

As I said, it is probably a missunderstanding....

Ok, I got an e-mail from DiscoMike an the price is as posted in the thread, 300.

I am getting a big assist from the Pony Express on this one.

Edit...Lou I sent you a pm so we can make arrangements.

You need go out and find some Carver that's long in the tooth to drive them.

I figure that would be what happens to me. I get a pair from far off, then a bunch will pop up. I would really like the larger ones. SRS, 1.2's, 1.2TL's, 2.3's, 2.3TL's, etc. If something would pop up and give me the choice, I would go from there! lol

Here you go!:D

I like how the guy the guy stored them,under a carport...then screwed the side panels back on after the water damage...

Good thing he's selling them,he certainly doesn't deserve to own them.

hmmmmm........More like hitting an old enjoyable girlfriend, I want them for the fest and I have a new rig in mind and need to free a set up, may use them to replace the rears in the RTR.

Esavinon--Thanks for offering to help, I think Ohskigod is going to get them if needed we will be ringing you.

Hmm...close enough but more than I want to pay for them. I might watch til the end and see how it goes. I'd be willing to drive 800 miles one way to save a few hundred dollars...I think! lol

Thanks for the heads up!

Well, I made this deal for these 1C's a while ago, certainly has turned into a good news, bad news sort of thing.

First the Good News, the Polk Pony express was excellent, two members picked them up for me, another two stored them a bit, and now F1Nut has them, a slow trip to Maryland but a trip nonetheless. Jesse was going to get the wood looking good and bring them to the Fest.

So Jesse starts the restore process. Of course he begins by taking all the drivers out........BAD NEWS......all of the mid-drivers and the both of the passive radiators have holes in them, looks like cat claw damage, which the grills had suffered damage from.

Now DiscoMike had not mentioned this in his ad, one of them, the hole is quite large and obvious and one of the members who picked them up had mentioned it to me. The other holes are smaller and you have to really look in the surround to see them.

Well I now need eight drivers, four of the 10's and four of the 11's, there is a good chance Jesse can repair the passive radiator holes.

My intention was to have these available at the Fest in October for us to get are 1C groove on and then pass them along.

It would be nice if DiscoMike would contact me. But he has not been around for a while.

dude, I'm sorry I missed em :(

I'll redouble my effort to find that extra driver.

F1nut

04-25-2007, 04:31 AM

It's my opinion that Disco boy knew full well that the drivers and PR's were damaged before he sold them to Ted as he knew his cat(s) were climbing all over them and there's no way anyone could miss the large chunk of rubber missing from one of the mid drivers. He also vanished right after the sale. Coincidence? Maybe, but not likely.

reeltrouble1

04-25-2007, 09:32 AM

Lou,

No problem, from what I understand without removing the driver and getting up close and personal the claw marks are hard to see.

04-25-2007, 10:57 AM

must be man, I listened for functionality at mike's house and nothing leaped at me. I more closely inspected the drivers from the front at my house and found the one hole visible by eye. (p.s. I might have found the box with the driver which is still sealed, I'll know tonight)

If that driver doesnt surface, I chip in a little coinage to defray replacement driver costs.

I had a hard time buying some LSi9's from DiscoMike a while ago. Eventually turned out ok, but he did go MIA for a while after cashing the check. The 9s thankfully were fine. Sorry to hear about your situation.

Ted,
I've got 3 6501 SDA drivers dated Feb 13, 1985. These were left from when I replaced all the drivers in a pair of SDA 2B's I bought. Let me know if these will help in any way. They are in damn good condition IMO.

BTW....I have a Polk driver shipping box to mail/ship the drivers in. I save that stupid crap for just this sort of thing. You never know????

05-02-2007, 01:18 PM

Wow I didn't even realize this was an issue until I spoke to you last night. I ddint' see all the holes but one in the drivers. Disco Mike better make good on this.
