What size of resistor should I use, to discharge my capacitors?? I've read and googled and found all these different values --- 10k ohms, 20k ohms, 6k ohms and 2k ohms with 3-5w value. Also could I place two resistors of the same value to get the resistance I need in parallel? I know one must be careful, and that's why I thought I would get honest advise from here!

Thanks in advance,
