No, I stopped short of the inductors. Go for it. Can't be any more difficult and once you're that far into it, it'd be a good time. If I had it to do over I'd do the inductors too.

Great news you're doing the mods John. Good move. Excited about hearing how the amp does!

For archival benefit.... Is the HK Citation 22 a common ground amp? Yes it is. I measured less than .5 ohm resistance between negative posts, yesterday. Confirmed, its Common Ground. And sounds...

I picked it up quick only with the help of all the good polk folk here. You can ask Schurkey (and a few others)... sometimes he had to get pretty elementary with me!!!

For the screws... I just...

my bad, another correction. This link:

Says that the speakers are 4 ohm. So I should set the amp selctor from 8 ohm to 4 ohm, correct?

I tried it...

OK, measured amp. Common ground showing .5 ohm resistance. Bought the amp. NIIIIICE!!!! Its in good shape. He "said" it was rarely used. I just happen to believe him.

Sorry, correction. The amp has setting to select either 8 ohms or 4 ohms. Which should I choose?

Ok, I just picked up my very first dedicated separate amp. It's certainly not new, just new to me. It's an HK Citation 22. My question is on setup. My speakers are SDA SRS 2. I think I've heard...

good news. Thank you!!!

the subs on our speakers are passive, but still they contribute greatly to the low end, so much so, I read somebody write that subs with them can be a distraction and are unnecessary for 2 channel...

exposed JOISTS in the ceiling. There are no exposed joints in my ceiling! :eek:

Oh, and check out the link I included, and consider modifying your crossovers and upgrading your tweeters. The age of your speakers has probably taken the life out of your caps, and the build...

Alwishus-

Welcome to the club. I am in a very similar situation as you. I too picked up some SDA SRS, the SDA SRS 2 pair, for very cheap, but I had to put in a lot of sweat and some blood to get...

As required by my SDA SRS 2... is this amp common ground?
thanks to anybody that knows.
And would $300 be a good used price?

Thanks for the input Schurkey. If I go look at this amp I'll take my DMM and measure. True Common Ground will give me little or no resistance. Or you say "some resistance". Do you have an idea of...

I'm reading that the HK Citation 22 is a "dual mono amp". Does that mean that it is not common ground?

I'm still looking for a respectable amp to power my pair (SDA SRS 2).

I've run across two Harman Kardons that look interesting in the $300 range. Any preferences on the Citation 22 versus the...

I'm trying to get the best amp to power my new (to me) SDA SRS2 set. I'll be doing 2 channel, as well as using the amp to power the fronts in a 7.1 Home Theater. Pre outs from the Onkyo AVR will be...

While I agree that it might be unknown about the rules on the first post, and for that, we could all temper our responses and politely inform our Polk brethren...that we wish to preserve our forum's...

Still sounding great. Time to start thinking about center channel to match them in a 7.1 HT system. So if these guys are amped with ext. amp in the 150/200 wpc range... 1) what center channel would...

Hearty statue- you are spot on about the help and expertise here in this group! If you read the entire thread (which turned out to be quite a book.... You saw that I couldn't have done it without...

+1 to TopHat... I did the exact same as ^^^^.

In my Home Theater set up, that I'm still setting up, I've been able to run the preamp outs to an external amp for bigger power to the front ......

Welcome to the club Aldine.

With the wonderful help from the very knowledgeable folks here on this list... I went with the Daytons on the low end, and the SonicCaps Gen I and Mills on the high...

Polk Brethren-
An update for you. Its been about 3 weeks since I posted last, and I think I'm coming up on about 150 hours of burn in. I'm not hearing a huge night and day difference between the...

Hi Teguci.... welcome.

I was new here too a few months ago, and like you, was just starting a complete overhaul of the SDA SRS 2 set I recently acquired. I did just about every mod available in...
