    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

    @BlueBirdMusic didn't the 924 come with a 4cyl audi engine?

    @CH46E, I had to look it up. My memory capabilities have slipped a little.

    "The Porsche 924 used an Audi four-cylinder engine and a rear-mounted transaxle." (from internet)


    By the way, I now drive a made in Japan 1998 RAV4 with about 130K miles.

    Prior to the 1998 RAV4, I drove a 1999 made in Japan RAV4 with over 320K miles totaled when a 16 year old pulled out in front of me. It was the best car I have ever owned. Going backwards in car years now.

    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! :#

    @CH46E Good looking pup. It’s like losing a kid. :/

    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.

    I went to school with a fellow named Peter Stiffe.

    The truth.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
