[Help Needed] SDA Blade Blade IC Question - Club Polk

Does anyone know if the polarity is the same from one end of the blade blade IC cable to the other end? It looks like the polarity is reversed to the SDA blade blade socket from the right SDA SRS speakers to the left SDA SRS speaker??

Would that be correct

Polarity is always reversed on blade/blade ICs.

Large blade to small blade

It seems the polarity reverses at the speakers IC socket not in the IC wire.

Would you agree? This would be for the first generation SDA SRS

Would you agree? This would be for the first generation SDA SRS I am pretty sure you are correct.

Hopefully someone can check this.

In fact I am almost positive you are correct.

With the blade blade cable it is imperative you get it right.

I blew an amp getting it wrong sending positive to positive.

Post this in trouble shooting, and Polk can give you a correct answer. Ben

I thought there was only one way to hook the blade blade cable IC UP male to female.

Somebody talk to me.

I just got one from polk yesterday.

Large to large, small to small on the cable (jones plug) ET

Check the cable blades for continuity with a multimeter.

One test is worth a thousand expert opinions....

I did check the continuity and the results are large blade to large blade small blade to small blade.

Info for those who want to build new IC cables with the blade/blade configuration.

The signal is switched from the socket to the crossover.

When I redid my SDA2's I added another set of banana jacks but left the IC intact.

That way I can use regular heavier gauge wire or the original IC cable.

The wire itself is straight through large-large, small-small.

I did see the change at the crossover to the socket.

I wasn't sure if the IC cable had something going on and wanted to be sure before I start this project.

I wanted to avoid cutting open the IC cable to verify as someone on the polk site may want it as a replacement.

That pretty much sums it up.
