how to fix rt8

[jsteelerz]

I have an issue. I have a set of rt8's and need to replace woofers on both speakers...nothing was wrong with the speakers themselves, let's just say that there was animal involvement that resulted in their demise. I just realized that it's very difficult to locate the mw8002 drivers that I need. I did find on Craigslist a pair of s6's which seem to use the same driver that I need, and are $50 obo. They are said to be in good working order. So, I guess my question is- would it be wrong to want to use those drivers for my rt8's, or should I just use those speakers themselves and just keep looking for replacement parts for mine?

Have you called Polk CS and see if they stock them ?

If they dont and the S6s have they same driver then swap them out.

I really don't think the S series uses the same drivers as the RT series. They do look similar and I could be wrong, but I swear they don't. If you called Polk CS, they could verify that.

OK, thanks for the info...I guess I will give Polk cs a call and see where it goes. Btw, the $50 obo sounds like a good deal for those s6's... should I follow up on that?

No luck with Polk cs...

Did you call or email? If you call, you could ask them if the drivers are the same at least to verify. I think the issue with that RT series is that those drivers are hard to come by.

You have to call Polk. Unless something has changed, emails seldom get answered.

Good call, the s6's use mw7000. Thanks for the assistance.
