    Default Proud new SDA-SRS 3.2TL owner....

    Hi guys,

    Been Trolling here for a few years. Lusting and drooling over the greatest speakers ever made and now I'm an proud new owner of SDA-SRS 3.2TL's.

    Still working out bugs and need things like the sda interconnect cable, fixing the grills, etc. I'm also searching the forums for help. I did have a couple of immediate questions though.

    The left/right set up is from your point of view standing in front of them, correct?

    Is there a way to test these? I mean individually test the woofers, then the tweets, etc. Other than panning right/left and turning bass up/treble down & vice versa. Reference CD's?

    How can you tell cross over's working, individual drivers, etc...(I understand if this is too much to answer easily & rest assured that I am researching as we speak)

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Fatbrando

    2.3 TL's I think a 3.2TL is an Acura.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    Your placement is off by quite a bit. I have found that having 7 feet between the inboard drivers, 3 feet off the side walls and 8 inches off the back wall is about the best way to hear them in my room.


    Nice grab however and congrats!!! You will enjoy them.

    Nice speakers. I would def. upgrade those jumpers.

    Yes the speaker are set up correct.

    Move them around and experiment with placement. See what you like.

    Def. get the interconnect cable. Lots of people make them here and e-bay usually has them for sale.

    It doesn't appear that he has much of a choice in the matter. At least he doesn't have a couch blocking half his driver though. :)

    FatBrando, enjoy!

    Very nice score. Where'd you find them? Couldn't have been CL, as I'm a mega CL lurker and didn't see them. PM if you want, I'm kinda curious.

    Thanks.

    I'll gladly share. Craigslist in Henderson, NV. $350 cash. Drove from LA doing 120mph to make there before they closed....made it with 1 minute to spare. Said they had 12 calls and 3 walk-in's to check 'em out...I said your damn right for that crazy price...!!!

    (side note - I've been watching craigslist for about 5 years now)

    Anyone have the appropriate interconnect cable? I tried to go to Ben's site but it was down or at least it wouldn't open for me. Still searching the forum, just thought someone might have one they'd be willing to sell.

    Is your amp common ground?

    As long as it is, you can use a plain old piece of speaker wire inserted into the round(pin) SDA connector.

    PM Ben, he makes them. you can use for the time being a single piece of speaker cable.

    All you need to connect is the Pin hole from each speaker and you will have SDA effect! It's like magic!
