I'm ordering resistors to update the xovers in my recently acquired 3pi speakers and will be changing to the DE250 tweeter at the same time. I have some basic grounding in DIY electronics and reading schematics... just enough to be dangerous... but I want to make sure I'm following this correctly.

Schematic shows two 30ohm resistors in series (60ohm total) paralleled with another pair of 30ohm resistors in series for a total equivalent resistance of 30ohms. I'm assuming this is done to get the proper current rating required, rather than just using a single 30ohm resistor... correct?

Likewise, there is another set of 12ohm/16ohm resistors in series and paralleled with the same. However, I do not have a 12ohm resistor available to me (only 12.5 which may not matter?). Is there any issue with instead using 8ohm/20ohm resistors?

Thanks.
