Hello I had some spare Polk Monitor 10 parts and used the SL 2000 tweeter, 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 12 UF caps

    The stock Baby Advents don't sound bad with a new XO capacitor of decent (and appropriate, value-wise) quality.
    Yeah, I mean, you can put anything you want in any box you want -- but that doesn't necessarily mean that you should.
    If you like 'em, though -- well, have a ball.

    Can you use the stock Polk XO? Again... you certainly can...

    I did upgrade the cap and resistor on the Advents and thought they sounded good , but lacked bass and imaging. I can always install the Advent parts back to original, but it does sound so much better with the Polk parts. I am using a Kenwood 7100 Integrated amp that's been fully restored and is used for recording albums and my reel to reel tapes to a PC

    what is TL them? lol

    You need a set of MW6502 drivers and mod the 10B x-over to match a 5B crossover (easy to do)
