Replacement tweeters for tannoy p10

I am trying to fit a pair of audax tweeters tw025a01, to my tannoy's p20.  After breaking in the tweeters, found that they dont blend in together very well, So i tried a few things and found that a step baffle compensation of aprox  -2dbs (2ohm resistor in parallel with .56mh coil)helped a bit. i did connect the filter in serie to the woofer, before the woofer crossover. 
 My question is, Should i connect the same compensation in parallel to the tweeter, and does this make sense?

Did a bit of reading on the audax tw025a0, found that the tweeter has a 6db drop after 4000hz. Think ill go with custom crossovers, not sure if i should cross them at 2200hz, or 4000hz?
  Current tannoy p20 are at 3000hz. I'am using loudspeaker design 2 on the link.

Problems sovled! After doing the changes to the crossover ie. changing  mylar, and electrolytic caps for MKP caps. replaced a pair of coils, most of the values of the caps and coils were changed. This was a huge improvement, but not perfect. Timlub recommended that I install parallel notch filters, from 9000hz-20khz and sent me the specs. WOW the imaging, and soundstage are AWESOME!!
 Thanks for tutoring your experience timlub, everything worked out great))  pce dude!
