I saw the parts list is in post
http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117359&highlight=crossover+monitor+10B
2 Mills MRA-12.2.5 ohms
2 Mills MRA-12.2.7 ohms
4 Sonicap 12uF 200VDC
2 Sonicap 34uF 200 VDC
4 Vampire BPHEX binding posts
24ft of Cardas Quad-Eutectis solder
But I only can find a 2.0 ohms on the board and schematic diagram
Anyone can clarify which value should be used, 2.0 or 2.5 ohms
If use 2.5 ohms and why?

If your 10's are fused sometimes the resistor value for the tweeter is slightly lower. Otherwise go with either. @ .5 ohms difference it won't matter.

I believe you use the 2.5ohms if you are removing the polyswitches. I have never upped the ohms on my resistors even when removing poly's so I would go with 2.0 ohms personally.

Thank you all, heiney9 and Joe08867!If your 10's are fused sometimes the resistor value for the tweeter is slightly lower. Otherwise go with either. @ .5 ohms difference it won't matter.

heiney9: Just want double check with you : the high value of that resistor(2.5 ohms) will give me a little more treble? -
I have ordered 2.0 , 2.5 and 3.0 ohms for test

The higher value will sightly pad the tweeter circuit as in give you a bit less treble.Hardrock.ca wrote: »I have ordered 2.0 , 2.5 and 3.0 ohms for test
There ya go, that's the best way to do it. The differences will be subtle but pick the one you like best. No harm in trying them all.
