I got a offer to buy 3 complete and fully working rti12's for 425$ . 2 in excellent condition and the 3 has a chipped and cracked rear powerport cover but still fully functional. I really dont need them but this seems to be a pretty fair price for these older speakers yet ??

    It depends on how much play money you have. I paid 350 for one pr., a csi4 center + a 505 sub. The cabinets were minty cherry on the 12's and center, but the sub is black.

    You're already working on refurbing a set now, right?

    Are you going to have a 5.1 RTi12 set-up?
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
  • That was kinda the idea i had, rti12's front and rear. Just not sure its worth it. I would still want to upgrade caps, coils, resistors in the xo's but then it would be 2.5x the cost on the upgrades lol. But it would allow me to get 4 back into the ht setup right away while i collect tweeters and xo parts

    Now that would be an enveloping surround system for sure.

    The upgrades would be a factor in your case. Ask for a BIG reduction then.
