It's a 4 ohm full range driver which is crossed high with a 3.3 uF capacitor.
I don't think there is much to worry about regarding cancellation in this instance.
You say the sound is good, so I would simply sit back and enjoy it.
Placing a resistor of just a few ohms in series with the 2.5" driver would make it less "loud".

Few ohms resistor will change over all impidence?
Like if a setup is 6ohms and I add a resister to one of its components assume i added 1ohms resister will my overall ohms change to 7 ?

Have attached two pics can I just glue my speaker to 4 side of case or will it be some problem like due to vibrations distortion or something or is it safe
If not safe i thought of second option were i took a plastic leg I can clue it to body then place speaker on it
What do you guys suggest?

The impedance of the woofer (which you said in your other thread was 8 ohm) is what determines the overall impedance of the loudspeaker system.
You may add a small value resistor in series with your 4 ohm "tweeter" without affecting the overall impedance.
You seem to have done a lot of (possibly unnecessary) surgery to your enclosure just to fit a 2.5" diameter "tweeter" in place of a 2" diameter one.
It's now simply a matter of glueing the replacement "tweeter" in place securely by whatever means you think best.
I will use glue gun but should the tweeter be in air or should I glue the magnet to bottom and 4 sides of tweeter to body were we have screw holes
Or just I use some legs one glued on cabinet and other on tweeter screw hole
Which option is good ?

I see now how the original 2" closed back tweeter was mounted. It had two mounting lugs that were screwed to two plastic mounting points on the enclosure, one of which is now broken (your photo of the original 2" tweeters is attached for illustration purposes).
If fixed "in air", the replacement "tweeter" it is more likely to match the position of the original tweeter rather than be located deeper into the recess, but I wouldn't wory too much about that. It should be sufficient just to ensure that the 2.5 inch "tweeter" is glued in place in whatever way you think is most secure.

It too was mounting it best way and secure but I come across this lines
("To prevent interference between the tweeter and woofer in your two-way bookshelf speaker, placing the tweeter in the air might be a better option to avoid direct contact with the surface that might transmit vibrations. You could use a mounting bracket or some sort of elevated platform to position the tweeter above the woofer's potential sound vibrations. This can help reduce the likelihood of interference and distortion in the tweeter's sound caused by the vibrations from the woofer.")
This is something to take care or should I just mount the secure way
Galu,
Thank you for your generous help and expertise. Your guidance has been incredibly valuable in aiding my decisions. I truly appreciate it! 🙂

You are most welcome.
I'd be interested in knowing where you read that quote, but it's true that a tweeter can be isolated from the enclosure to reduce the effect of vibrations transmitted into it by the woofer.
Isolation can be as simple as installing a soft, flexible gasket between the tweeter and the front of the enclosure, but that's not possible in your case.
Elevate the tweeter if you like, the important thing is to make sure it is secure.
An insecure mounting will mean the tweeter chassis is more likely to vibrate, and we don't want that!

Yes moreover this 2.5 inch is full range speaker so i think it can handle vibration and produce high frequencies
Also to be on safe side i will just Elevate the tweeter
Thanks again 🙂

Ta! Do send us pictures showing your final method of mounting in order to draw this thread to a close.
