I would like to replace my mid-range woofers MW6500 and happen to have a couple of MW6502 (from my smaller Monitor 7) and from my research, it would appear that the 6500 are 8 ohms, the 6502 are 4 ohms. These appear to be hooked up in parallel so the 6500 are reduced to 4 ohms and if I were to hook up the 6502 in parallel I would end up with 2 ohms. Anyone know if I am correct? Thanks for your input.

    I have the old Polk monitor 10's10a that you have you need mw6500 not mw3500. I would watch the for sale section on here or eBay as they do come up from time too time. Good luck.
