    Welcome to Club Polk! Replacing the capacitors will make them perform a bit better and ensure they will last many years to enjoy.

    If you need help I am an IPC Certified Solderer / Solder Trainer and will gladly perform the mod for you.

    You will want to use RDO194 tweeters for the replacement, and let me know if you have any questions on the crossovers or other Monitor 5jr+ mods.
