[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 5684629, member: 566575"] Depends on what the polk crossover was designed for. Here's some things you need to consider. 1) Make sure the ohm load the crossover was designed for matches the new mids. If they're different, then the crossover points will change a good bit. 2) The actual corssover point. Most comp sets use a 12db/oct crossover at ~3khz...these mids just won't work with that. 12db/oct at 2khz or 24db/oct at 2.5khz is as high as I would go with these. 3) Matching sensitivity. Make sure that the new mids are fairly close to the sensitivity of the current tweets you're using. Unless you have a detailed EQ that can attentuate either the mids or tweets completely, be sure to have the sensitivity within 1-2db of each other(also be sure it's being measured the same way).
