I installed the .5ohm resistor today, and it seems like everything's come together now..
Recap of Polk SDA-2a system:
-Receiver (still) : Marantz SR7300
-Amp : (now) : Parasound HCA 1200 ii
-Tweeters : (now) : RDO194's
-Crossovers : (now) : Sonicap 12's Daytona 20's
-Polyswitch : (now) .5 ohm Mills
-Wires (now) : monoprice 12ga
I'm about $700 in all togther, and countless hours invested in learning, reading (redundant) , and laboring...
Overall, it's been a great experience and change, and it sounds VERY GOOD. It's difficult to put a number on sound, but I feel as if I have a $3k-$4k system all in all, and it feels good.
I really do feel that ANY upgrade from here, would be negligible to my ears, or more for aesthetics/mental.
Thanks for the help to those who did or tried.. As Borat would say: "SUCCESS!" -

Can you please explain? -

I think I remember @DarqueKnight having a negative experience replacing internal wiring. Hopefully he will chime in.

I replaced the internal wire of a one SDA-1B with Monster cable and didn't hear a difference between it and the stock-wired speaker, so I removed the MC wire.
I have had excellent results rewiring my SDAs and LSI speakers with Cardas and AudioQuest wire:

Thanks, but that is way beyond my expertise and motivation.... I can't imagine much result from my current setup...but if money and time were no object I'd be more than happy to indulge- but then again I'd probably have something beefier for that matter
