Welcome Shamrock!

Welcome David!!

I know better, but I tried to solder the mini XLR and had the same problem with the pin moving and ruining the connector. I say I know better because when making balanced interconnects with XLR connectors, I always use the female and male connectors plugged into each other. (I have a set of XLR M & F connectors that are dedicated to soldering.) This makes the other connector a heat sink, as well as holding the pins in the proper position so they should not move. I have worked with 4 pin mini XLR for the Audeze headphones, and can tell you from first hand experience these mini XLR's can be a PITA to solder! Just plug the female and male connectors together and that should keep the pins from melting the plastic and moving out of place. Hope this will help.

Martin, Thank you so much!!! That is a big help seeing the schematic of the drivers and the photo of everything laid out like that. LOL, I could read the instructions 20 times and never have the understanding I get from seeing what you posted above. Thank you Martin!!

Martin, wish my speakers and stands had arrived so I could get a grasp on what the mating between the speaker and stand looks like. If there is enough room, a speakon connector might be the best answer. One of these on the bottom of the speaker, and one of these insie the stand pole, if there is enough room. The hole in the bottom of the speaker would more than likely need to be enlarged. The female connector is a little over 1" in diameter, and don't know if it would fit inside the stand post or not. Anyway, just a thought.

Welcome Very nice looking speakers you have built!!

The chart above clearly shows "Nixon's Colossal Monetary Error: The Verdict 40 Years Later" Back to the original topic and the OHM speakers. If you are going to Carverfest, go visit Eddie in Cabin 7. Last year he had his OHM Walsh speakers and I'm sure they will be there again this year. Great sounding set up!

Dom, if you are interested, I have 4 of the MW6503 drivers and 2 of the MW6511 drivers from a bulk purchase I made a couple of years ago. These are genuine Polk replacement drivers. Two of the 6503 boxes were open. The drivers are wrapped in the original plastic shrink wrap, and they look pristine. PM me if you are interested in them.

Welcome Billy!!
