SDA-SRS2's

[xsmi]

Well, I finally got a couple of hours to sit and examine the crossover on the right speaker of the pair I pick up from Sal almost 2 weeks ago. I pulled the tweets and removed the high part of the crossover. I put one of the extras Sal gave me and I hooked the tweeters up outside the box to make sure things were working. They were so I installed the tweeters in the cabinet and listened to one song with the right channel only. WOW! That's all I could say. I was so excited, I pulled the left channel from the corner and hooked it up as well. I was running it with an OLD (23 yo) JVC integrated amp and I live in an apartment, so I had 2 strikes against me playing it at any decent levels. However, I must say even with poor speaker placement, subpar power and terrible electronics in general, these things imaged like MAD! :eek: Sal I am in love (with the speakers although you're cute too)! Thank you so much...

BTW I am going with red oak for the caps. My girlfriend had two very good points. 1.) When you restore a classic car you try to keep it as original as possible (I know they are not a car) 2.) The oak matches the rest of my living room. I pick up the new caps tomorrow.

I plan to run these with stock crossovers until the end of July. My electrician buddy is out of town and I am too chicken to do the soldering without him standing over my shoulder. Well, I gotta go to bed. Again Sal thank you...You are the man. :D

SDA SRS 2's was what I broke my SDA cherry on...special speakers for sure.

[bluecomet]

I have two sets of them. Since I bought my SDA SRS set my wife would like to see one of the SDA SRS 2's go but I just can't bring myself to do it. They are special and with the right amp they sound outstanding. Your really going to enjoy them.

bluecomet,
how do you get 2 different ohm versions of sda srs 2's?

Tony,

There are two versions of SRS 2's, the early version which are seen more which have a Blade/Blade Interconnect cable and (8) MW6509's

And then a version that is basically exactly like the SDA 1C's, they have a Pin/Blade Interconnect cable and (4) MW6510's & (4) MW6511's

The Pin/Blade version are 6 to 8 ohms, not sure exactly and the older type with the Blade/Blade are 4 ohms.

Thank you Sal.
Mine are the 4 ohms..I definately have to set up my big amps again.
My older onkyo stereo receiver sounded pretty good but it did heat up quite a bit.I only played through it for about an hour or two and never played loud for too long a time.I wonder if my big amps are going to heat up too.

[bluecomet]

I power my 4 ohm SDA SRS2's with a Luxman M-117 amp. I can rock the house for hours and it won't break a sweat. Go out and get a good quality amp and you will be good to go.

[Tony M]

I used to have two Luxman 1030's that I loved but sold those and of coarse I couldn't have used them for the 2's. But for nice amps I've only to go to my shelves to pick one out.I read the bass should tighten up. I used to have Isles of gear, but have sold alot in the past 5 months. I'm still reorganizing but I'm making progress. I plan on fixing a set of sda crs's soon. They have been put aside for 4 yrs.;)I bought a set of original stands for them a few months ago too.:D

Well, finally got the end caps put on but bad news. Two of the four new ones were warped already. The guy at the wood shop did not (rip?) the caps down and then glue them together. He made them out of one solid piece. So I only replaced the bottom caps as they were splitting pretty bad. I think I am going to go with the mdf and laminate next time. I saw an old post over the weekend where F1 recommended this. Also, the drivers have been taken out and pt back into these speakers so much that the screw holes are mangled. I am not going to change the end caps for a while but I need to get back in for the xover mod. Any suggestions on ways to make the screw holes stable again?

[Face]

Drop of wood glue and a toothpick, drill new holes(12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, etc...), or http://www.madisound.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=404_18_393

Thanks face. i am going to try the toothpicks first.

You might get a good and permanent result with threaded inserts and machine screws.;)
