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 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

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...

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

 

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...

 

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.

 

Nismo, i know buddy, they look real nice but I am trying to sell some stuff to get something else from another member. But what the hell, i am curious, pm me the price

also taking any trades?

 

What do you hve for trades?
