    You really need to pull and check the crossovers before doing anything else.

    Are the drivers and crossovers identical to the rti12? If so I have a set of 12 that we could work out a deal on.

    I know the older gen RT drivers were different but I thought the move to the A was cabinet and maybe crossover differences. I could be wrong though.

    Yes different XO according to Doro and of course cabinet.

    I cannot stress enough to look at the XO. Many have cooked parts in the XO doing just as you have done. Makes no sense to put new drivers in to get fouled up quick like from a bad XO.

    Have you considered vertical bi-amping? You would need more wire.

    Take ‘em out of mono. Taking care to connect + to red, - to black: one channel to the “top,” the other to the “bottom?” Then do the same w/the other amp to the other speaker?

    Can’t say how or if it would affect your “party” loudness. Mostly I’m curious about a change in SQ - particularly distortion.

    Just a thought. Tony
