    I am also interested in this.. as my fronts are now getting close to 10 yrs old. would updating the crossovers yield a nice improvement?

    I'm sure they would, I'm actually going to take the crossover out in the next couple of weeks in mine. I'll keep you all updated with my findings....or if you beat me to it, let me know ;)

    I am also thinking about this for my RTI-10s but have no idea how to determine what the caps, etc. should be changed to. I will be watching this thread hoping what is learned for the 8's will work on the 10's.

    If the LSi's had the improvements they did, I'm sure the RTi have some room for improvement.

    Take lots of pics and get all the part numbers.
