Hi. I have a pair of Peerless (with the pinhole in the dome). Is there a crossover mod to use these in RTA-11T?

    Not aware of any Peerless mod for any speaker that did not originally come with them. Electrically and mechanical fit, they are different. The closest for the RTA-11T would be to swap the SL-2000 for the RD0-194 tweeters. Upgrade the XO caps and resistors while you are at it and I think that you will be very pleased.

    Thank you both. I thought to use the Peerless because I already have them and they are highly regarded. I'm aware of the RD0s.

    The 194"s are great tweeters. Just Wonder if upgraded xovers if you could use rd0198's ? My RTA15tl's came with sl3000's (I think) I swapped em out & happy I did

    Could use the RTA-11TL (SL-3000) schematic to use the RD0-198. I believe there were some other differences with the cabinet and PR tuning.
