New Tweeters for Front Stage

MacintheAc · 01-28-07, 09:24 PM

I am looking to buy Tweeters to mount on my A-Pillars to compliment a pair of 6.5"s in the front doors.

Anyone have any recommendations for quality tweeters?

Thanks!

best place to find out some great info. What kind of 6.5"s do you have in now?

MacintheAc · 01-28-07, 09:58 PM

My car came with 2-way Infinitys in the front, but the highs coming out of them sound horrible, so I am proabaly going to get a set of tweets and then maybe replace those 6.5"s if the Mids sound rough.

I have seen two sets that I am interested in, but I hesitate to spend too much money for tweets.

The JBL Power P25t's are 88 shipped, and the Infinity Kappa 10.7t's are 80 shipped, both from ebay. Has anyone heard these?

crossovers are a must, no point installing tweeters with out crossovers

replace the components completely. i would go with a Rainbow component set (SLC or Germs)

I have been looking at some DIY audio forums, including DIYmobileaudio, to see if I could find something right for my install. I have had a couple people tell me to buy seperates so I think thats the route I am going to take.

As far as the tweeters go, the Seas 27TFFNC/G @ $25 each. They are very well rated overall and people perfer them to the highest end JBL tweeters.

I was also recommended LPG tweeters but they only get the higher end of the highs, and since I dont have all my crossovers and strong 6.5" speakers in place, the Seas seem to be better because of their frequency response.

As far as my current 6.5" (Infinity Refrence), they might have to go as soon as I see how these new tweeters work out.

Those are the EXACT ones I have. They sound amazing.

drmonkey · 02-03-07, 01:57 PM

Alpine? JBL? Infinity? There are much better brands out there with much better quality. Seas, Morel, Peerless, LPG are just some I can think of.

www.madisound.com is a great website

davinci · 02-03-07, 05:34 PM

the seas posted above is the best option, but the main thing to tweeter in the apillar is the ability to control them. by control, i mean the volume they play and the xover point. eq is everything

MacintheAc · 02-10-07, 03:43 AM

Yeah I have been holding off on buying these Seas tweets because I want to make sure that I have the right setup to control these.

Someone has recommended an external EQ:

COUSTIC XM 6 CROSSOVER

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ype=osi_widget

This will allow me to select the crossover frequency for the tweets to make sure I get them tuned correctly, plus it can also shape the low end signal to my subs, plus its not too expensive.

I am thinking that need to get a new head unit first anyway, I have this crap sony that came with my car. I need a good source, and I want a screen, so am thinking a touch screen DVD player... so I am looking out for one at a good price.

I will be sure to update when I get those tweets in and let ya'll know how it sounds
