obviously these are not "direct drop in upgrades" between eachother. simple question. is there a way to be able to put a rd0198 in place of a rd0194? if its as simple as modifying the crossover, this sort of work does not scare me. its finding the parts to do it. any advice and suggestions are welcome

    In a word no, but there are a couple model's of SDA's that can be modified to use the 198 in place of the 194 fairly easily.

    Perhaps if you stated exactly which speakers you have, we could provide better answers to your questions.

    rta8t's. it appears removing a resistor and adding a capacitor and a few other small tricks, it would work just fine with it. isnt the 198 what came with the 8tl? so basically just need to match the crossover from the 8t to the 8tl?
