Polk SDA Speaker info needed...

I've got some older Polk SDA 1A dimensional array speakers and people are telling me that the sound is much better when you use the cable that connects the two speakers together. Can anyone varify this and also tell me how I might hook mine up just for a listen without having the polk cable? Thanks..

Carver C-9 sonic hologram generator will do the same thing if you can't find the cable. It cancells interaural crosstalk. Try to get the cables. BTW speaker placement is very important. It's not for everyone, but I was addicted to it for years. Good luck.

The plug is a Cinch or Jones plug. Radio Shack had them (cat#274-001) or they are online. You need the two conductor version as they have them in 2,4,6,8,10 and so on. Then just solder two conductor (speaker) wire to each of the connectors and plug it in!

Here ya go $2.65 each: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/CINCH-P-302-CCT-/P-302-CCT

Yup, i WAS wrong. The interconnect cable is nothing crazy like i thought. it seems to just be speaker wire with crazy connectors. I assumed it was much more due to the strange connectors but its not. I just pushed in some wire for my SDA CRS's for now and WOW what a difference. Ill need to start a whole different discussion about how amazing these things are! this technology is incredible!
be advised that there is actually 2 different interconnect cables that i know of (for different SDA's). One is two 'posts' and one has a post and a pin (like mine). Im sure they are both the same thing but the updated post-pin version was probably so they wires weren't crossed.
I strongly suggest you get these working with the cable. and if you dont want to bother sell them to me!
