Picked up some 10's on craigslist for $40! bad news is the grill attachment knobs are missing on one speaker, so I need to source these. Also one tweeter appears to be blown/going bad, but there doesn't appear to be anything simple like the fuses in my 5's. What is the model of the recommended tweeter upgrade and what is the price with the club polk discount?

    The tweeter you will need will depend on the monitor 10 you have. Some had the Peerless tweeter that is no longer available. If you have the 10B you can get a replacement tweeter from Polk. RDO-194 for the 10B. Post a photo and we can tell you which tweeter you have.

    I purchased the RDO-194 from Polk for my Monitor 10Bs. $48 + tax [each]. Free shipping if you mention you are a member of this forum.

    Which model 10s do you have? Which tweeter is in there, because if it's a Peerless, Geppy (Keith) is selling one on this site right now at a good price. If not you'll need some RDs as mentioned above.

    The good news is the RDO-194 (available from Polk) is a direct replacement for the SL-2000 and most people say the 194s are just as good or better than the peerless. I like the 194s really well.
