    I agree! What am I worried about?

    I was shocked to see my RTi12's cross-over board being the size of a Rubik's cube or smaller.

    Heart surgery #2 and #3 is now facing me. :#:p

    You can make your own replacement and make it as large as you like -- at some point, though, the volume of the XO and its components could alter the speaker system tuning. Srsly.

    The alternative -- which is (IMO) a danged good one -- is to outboard the XO.
    Many of the cool kids do this. B)

    I hear you.

    Even with the humungous volume of these RTi12s internal volume?

    I know I'm not going $$$$ on new big/giant caps on these. In fact, I'd love to get normal replacements for the CAPS. I see the resistors I bought are twice as long as the originals. The 5 watt mills are the same size but they might burn up like the originals.

    I think I can make the 12 watt Mills work.

    Now..it looks to me the tweeter resistor is mounted inside the same copper path. ?

    I thought the electrical path had to go in one way and out the other on a different coper path. Am I missing something?

    Looks like there are two separate "traces" connected to the resistor if I am interpreting the photo correctly. It also looks like the PC board itself may have gotten somewhat toasted -- which could be a problem.

    Thanks Doc.

    The 2 little solder points under the resistor are coming from the resistor. Almost center of the pic. but to the right and up a touch. I looked at them in 2 different study times but didn't look at the other 2 resistors to see if they are on the same copper trace. I should have. Most likely I'll go out tonight after dinner and look at the others. ;)

    I was wondering about the scorched earth/board issues! :#

    I went out after dinner and sure enough, the other 2 resistor's legs are pegged to separate traces.

    Looking at the schematic, I see the other 2 resistors interacting with other components of their circuits.

    The Tweeter's resistor is ON a straight line----> to a Capacitor.
