Are Rti 12 and Rti a9 crossovers the same?

Kind of a fly by night question, but can they be interchanged for one another?

    Specs may be the same but that does not mean they are the same boards or the same parts content.

    Really? :) I would be surprised if they are not the same physically. Electronically they are performing the exact same function at the exact same points of reference, according to the spec sheet anyways. I think it would be safe to assume one could be interchanged with the other without any audible differences. I purchased the RTi12's thinking the a9's was only a cosmetic upgrade with perhaps a slight benefit from not having standing waves due to the curved cabinet. I researched these two models extensively and do not recall a crossover upgrade being mentioned. Have you compared the two, or read this somewhere? I am not disagreeing with you at all, just curious about the origin of the information, as it is new to me. Enjoy!
