Polk Sda Crs (compact) Help

[mdc1965]

Acquired a pair of sda crs compacts.Had polks before but never the sda line.No interconnect cable.Used single lead of speaker wire to pin connection between the two in leiu of no interconnect.Still only one tweeter playing these have two tweeters in each along with two mid drivers and passive on back.I really dont understand the interconnect and talking to polk they dont sell the pin blade interconnect anymore.Im lost dont even know where to start this whole interconnect thing has me baffled.help:tears:

I had to make my own interconnect using speaker cable learning the hard way that polarities should not be crossed on the interconnect pins. On my SDA-1's , looking toward the back of the speakers, wires should match up outside pin/outside pin and inside/inside. I blew a transistor on my test amp mis-wiring them. Also a snug fit is essential as ohm resistance can drop to low..at least that was my experience. Wire up and enjoy.

With Pin/Blade, you only need to connect the two pin connections. I added a extra binding post to mine to make things easier since I don't have a cable either.

As for the tweeters not working, it's very possible they're blown. I would replace the two regular(outside) tweeters and wouldn't bother with the inside(dimensional) tweeters.

The earlier CRS models with the two side by side tweeters use the blade/blade cable, not the pin/blade type. Polk still sells the blade/blade version, runs about $35.00.
