    What are you doing to the crossover when you install the Flutes into the polk? That's really a nicer woofer than you'd find in the RTi or Monitor line.... Not surprised Polk charges an arm and a leg...Paradigm tried charging me $70 for a $13 tweeter. The guy at the dealer gave me Paradigm's part number which was the exact same as Vifa's coincidentally...

    Kexodusc, you didn't hear about boses new speakers yet, they're the size of monopoly dice and they're rated as a ------- piece of crap for the money + $500 for nothing. It's your old buddy bose-o. Kexodusc rules! I love kexodusc he's da best ruler of the champions league of speaker justice + 10000000 points.

    I don't modify the crossovers, they are the same impedance.

    How does it turn out? It's rare that you can just plop in a substitute driver, nominal impedance might be the same, but woofers are usually quite unique in their impedance profiles...if the FR is different too you usually have to modifiy a crossover a bit, but every now and then you find a better driver that fits just perfectly. I'm doing the same thing with some higher end Morel tweeters to a speaker I built last year.

    What Polk speaker models do you swap drivers with?
