Hello I had some spare Polk Monitor 10 parts and used the SL 2000 tweeter and one woofer and installed them in a Baby Advent cabinet. I was amazed on how well it sounded. Bass was tighter and the SL 2000 was an improvement over the tiny Advent tweeter. I am still using the Advent crossover and would like to know if I can use the Monitor 10A crossover instead. Are there and mods or anything I need to do ? I see there is a small bulge on one of the caps

    Where do I start......hmmm....let's just say what you've done is wrong on each and every level.

    Most Advents run the woofer full range, meaning, no low pass filter to roll off the highs.

    And of course, their woofers were fine for this, as they had a NATURAL high end roll off and sounded fairly good that way.

    BUT, your Baby Advents seem to have aftermarket woofers anyways...so.......

    The Polk woofer, on the other hand, requires a low pass crossover on the woofer, as it does not roll off in the same manner at all.........

    Refer to what F1nut said above........

    Might be a fun experiment, but doubtful it can deliver great sound.
