    Sorry, didn't mean the tweeters, the larger woofers.

    Mine say model 6600X but after swapping them out I have to now wonder if there may be a cross over issue as the rattling has now gone away and the static seems to be from the tweet. (could've just been that scratchy Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On song too!) Bad choice but I was rushing.

    Had seen an earlier post that showed these used MW6503 but that's not what I see in mine.

    Thanks in advance for all the help guys! I'll be leaving tomorrow to spend weekend wi family before school starts. I'll be back here Sunday or Monday tho'! Just not enough hours in the day! Kids, bills, stereos. Crazy but fun!

    Well then that further backs up my little theory that you got early-production Model 10B's. Anyways--there's really not much you can do. Try to figure out if the woofer is actually shot or if the woofer or cabinet is resonating. I think Monitor 10's use the same midwoofers all around, but only MW6503's are very common. You can try contacting Polk about cabinet design and compatibility. It's a lot of work to repair or entirely refurbish a pair of vintage speakers.

    Your theory? I do believe it was I that made that suggestion first. However, in light of the fact that he has MW6600X drivers, dated 1984 I'd have to say that my suggestion about them possibly being early 10B's is dead wrong. It's looking more like they are early production 10A's.
    I think Monitor 10's use the same midwoofers all around, but only MW6503's are very common.

    That comment doesn't make any sense. The 10A's are suppose to use MW6501's. The 10B's use MW6503's.
    Peerless and SL1000's used a flat shiny plate with the marks at an angle.

    The Peerless faceplates are flat black. Only the SL1000 used a shiny sliver faceplate.

    I recently purchased Monitor 10B's as well. Had issues with two fo the drivers. Turns out they were also MW6600x with SL1000 tweeters.

    In that case, they were not 10B's.

    10A 1980-81 to 1983 6500 (no carboard around drivers ) US made Peerless (different versions) marked 5514______ SN 80,000 -120,000 about Also cabinetr change

    Early 10Bs 1984 to late 1985 6600X or 6501s with silver faced SL1000 tweeter with clear dome marked 5514______
