What is the value of the inductor please? For tweeter or driver?

    Did you look at the wiring diagrams?

    The HP is 0.23mH and the LP is 1.55mH

    Yes, I have seen the wiring diagram. Just to confirm:) Is it possible to replace the HP 0.23 mH with 0.27 mH in order to replace Peerless tweeter with RDO-0198:confused:

    Not that I'm aware of...........where did you come up with those values and why do you want to use the RD0's?

    According to the mod schematic :http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=18767&d=1155784608

    Hmmmm forgot about that schematic. I guess follow it and see what happens although I suspect that is for the Monitor 5 Series II with the SL2500 tweeter, even though it says SL3000.

    I still don't think it's possible since you have the peerless. The Sl3000 mod was a mod to the 5B with the sl2000. The peerless have an additional resistor in the path and I have no idea how changing the inductors and deleting a resistor to use the RD0198-1's will turn out. I suppose you could give it a shot. Many like the peerless as much or more than the RD0's anyway so I'm not sure why you want to change it.

    The low pass cap is different as well.................27uF for the peerless model and 34uF for all other models. Looks like a lot of changes and not sure you'll get the desired results.

    I am just curious about the mod schematic. If RDO-198 is possible for the replacement of Peerless, which is not available from the Polk.

    Yes, the Peerless have an additional resistor in the path. I know some Monitor 5 have Peerless and 34uF low pass capacitor:)
