Tweeter Help Whats's What/Differences
 

Hello Org members, so long story short, I picked up some sweet pillars from KC(thank you) with tweeter cutouts. Now I am in the market for tweeters. The cutout are approximately 1.75". I know some other member posted about tweeters but that thread went horribly wrong:D with hurt feelings and nothing ever got resolved. I did a some research to find tweeters and I see there are Paper cones, Silk, Aluminum and Neo-somthing or other, etc. So her are my questions. I know answers will be subjective to user but i listen to all kinds of music from Rap to rock to salsa to jazz, i have a varied taste.
1. Whats the differences between them
2. what are the benefits to either
3. Is there another question i should be asking:laugh::laugh:

I really dont care about brand, or should i? I did see some sweet tweeters from Nismo14 that he had for sale awhile back a pair of nice looking Rainbow's but i dont remember what kind of cone it was but they look super cool. Please help share your expertise wiht me. Thanks in advance

i myself custom frabircated some tweeter housings where the mirrors bolt's are on my 3rd gen. i got ahold of 4 pioneer tweeters and added them to my bose (2 for the front and two for the back of course).

it, imo, made a a noticeable difference in sound.

but what most peopleup here do is buy those tweeters (think they're 1 inch) for $1.
those things have alot AND I DO MEAN ALOT of treble.
you could get a pack of those and put em' behind the pillar. or get the oem clarion tweeters?

most people here...don't buy those $1 dollar "bullet" tweeters... :p

anyhow, what crossover are you going to use with the tweeters?

lol. i know i would'nt buy them either.

Ascendant, i have no clue buddy, i was looking at tweeters that come wiht crossovers, but if you remember i do have the ID ctx's in the front, i was thinking of disconnecting those tweets and use the crossover for the new tweets but IDK. My plans are very open.

What do you have in mind?

PS, i aint buyin no one dolla tweets, LMAO

Bump, Pearlmax, DJfreestyle, anyone. I need your expertise.

thanks

It doesn't matter what materials the tweeters are if your ears don't like them. Go to a reputable shop and start auditioning tweeters. Typically silk tweeters produce a softer sound over aluminum which tend to be more sharp. I prefer silks because they are easier on my ears for extended listening.

Currently, I have polk audio sr speakers in my car which are ring radiator tweeters and I think they're great.

Unrealii, thanks for the input, there is a shop here i trust now lol. i will visit them this week.

yeah, generally silk domes are a bit softer, metal and other textile domes are a bit more sharper. however, there ARE exceptions to these general characteristics.

i prefer a nice soft silk dome, but it's really a personal preference.

thanks i will look into it. I did like your tweets, i think those were dls right? looks like the same ones Nismo14 were selling.

side note you bringing your woman to the meet next week, i am debating if i should bring my girl b/c idk if there will be other girls there to talk about girly stuff:laugh:

yeah they're the Iridium tweets.

yep, still planning on bringing her to the meet. but who knows, she may change her mind or something. you know how they are...:chuckle:

Yes i know "how they are" lmao. Cool let me know if you bring her, also i will hit you up for directions

I still have the rainbows, they do the best on A-pillars i you ask me. They are still for sale, and are silk domes. Amazing sounding, with excellent detail.
