Ramos, you old SQ fuck.

[tommyk90]

Recommend me some tweeters for my daily driver build.

Will be ran active with some Ascendant Audio Carbon 7" mids in the doors.

Budget: Ummm, not really sure. $100/pair is about max I think.

[atoz350]

Scan Speak 6000s if you can find them.

Something readily available would be nice.

I abso-fuckin-lutely love my TBI HDSS tweeters, I got them on a group buy a few years back... so not sure on current price...

I picked up two pairs. Still have a pair stashed away.

[ngsm13]

Also still have these paired with AA Poly-mids for my stereo mains, with right xover and placement... they are quite nice.

I've got a set of Alpine Type-x (SPX-177R) in my car right now. I believe they have the XT19 tweets, I know they are Vifa's though. Work very well.

[ramos]

These, perfect match. We both know of a certain ascendant dealer with a bunch of the carbons in his doors. We tried different sets of tweeters I had laying around with the LPg's winning over some much much more expensive options.

Looking extremely similar to the HDSS I mentioned, A LOT cheaper. I say go with thems.

Big key to ring radiators. Gotta get those bishes almost completely on axis most of the time. I love those vifa's, I have them in my center and surrounds lol

That certain dealer was pushing me towards these:

But I'll take your advice. :)

Those are nice, but lack some output when used in single pairs. He has freaking 5 of them in each door lol

[UCP]

I may have to get a set of these to go with the MLI-6 drivers... well... if that preorder is still happening.

[UCP]

Naturally you picked something PE doesn't carry, lol.

[tommyk90]

True. Haha.

I'm a little more subtle and doing just a pair. :)

[CockMuncher]

I am currently using these Vifas NE19's
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-1008

So far I am loving them, even for an alloy driver they have performed quite nice. The alloy dome really brings a crispiness to high hat sounds from drums.

Another favorite are the CSS ERT26's cheap yet awesome! I own 2 sets. One set is in my Home Theater the other are my backup pair, might soon go into the car.

Only bummer to those tweets ramos is that they are 8 ohms. Gonna be no power going to those. :crap:

Any other options?

[Echo42987]

https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_229_324&products_id=8436

tons of win right here

Once again, 8 ohm impedance.

[Porch Monkey]

shouldn't need that much power to get them loud anyway

[fbi90909]

Anyone got pics of some of these posted tweeds installed? Would like to see how they look in a setup.

[brynm]

Here's a Morel 4 ohm

How do you plan to mount those? The one's posted lately have some pretty large mounting flanges. We're talking 3-4".

You really think less than 50w per would be enough?

Bro, he's an SPLhead. If it's not at a sixty-fourth of an ohm off of a 5 amp fuse, he's confused.

You really think less than 50w per would be enough?

YES. More than enough.

Also, you do realize that an 8ohm tweeter will in general have a higher sensitivity than a 4ohm tweeter, right? Tweeters do not need much.

My fucking 4ohm tweeters are on a kicker 200.2, so around "50watts" per tweeter... and I have barely touched the gain up on them and have them at -6dB on my HU, haha.

I was on the fence about it because frankly I just don't know much power they really needed.

Could have just said all that in the first place instead of being a douchenozzle about it.

But I guess I shouldn't expect anything more from you. :rolleyes:

Bro just do SQ like me, get some ST350s.. put em so low they suck & attempt to compensate by throwing 150 watts at each.

Do let us know when his balls leave your chin.

What you just said. It makes no goddamn sense.

Stop trying so hard to do whatever it is you think you're doing.

[w00tah]

The LPG's are nice tweets. I'd love to have XT25's, but for the price, LPG's are a really good choice.

Yes it does and no.

Nope, you're exceptionally incorrect, and not understanding the statement.

Means less attenuation you need for them.

[tommyk90]

Okey dokey.

Now another question is actual placement, as I have no clue about that either. :laugh:

I'm assuming pillar mounted will suffice? Don't really have many options as the sail panel locations are tiny.

[ngsm13]

I aimed and then fiberglassed mine onto the A-Pillars... I say go for it :shrug:

A good idea is to hook everything up with slack on the tweeters, then play around with aiming or mounting areas.

Use music you are really familiar with. Listen on some head phones, or a home reference system. I would start out with the tweeters firing right across at each other. Then listen...

does the sound seem compressed between the tweeters ( narrow ) try moving the tweets a little more on axis. Does sound pull your eyes to one side or the other? Try turning the side that it is pulling AWAY from more on axis.

Sir, you are speaking jibberish.

Please stop.

But really, that does make a bit of sense to me. I'll have to get some local SQ guys to help me out because I really have no clue what I'm doing.

[ramos]

I would post some pdf books I have that explain a lot about vehicle acoustics and sound, but most of them are several hundred pages :(

[ngsm13]

Really, as long as it sound great to you... that's what really matters.

Unless I ride in your truck...

I hear this, but I like to get other (more sophisticated) people's opinions.

I actually wouldn't mind trying my hand at a little SQ competition just for shits and giggles.
