Re: what tweeters to get
You're just buying tweeters and nothing else??
Re: what tweeters to get
far better to buy a set of components, with the mids and x-overs included. whats mids are you gonna be running with them, running them active or passive?
Re: what tweeters to get
me=sound noob when it comes to speaker lingo, and i didn't think you needed to buy tweeters /w other things and such, do they sound better if you match em up with a set? rather than mix-matching parts?

Re: what tweeters to get
Can you get them seperately? Sure. But you want to match them up to a set of mids, and then you need to find a solution actively or passively to cross them over from the mids. Just slapping a pair of tweets into a system all willy-nilly is going to sound like *** if you don't know what you're doing.Originally posted by Kazik16:

Re: what tweeters to get
As i have suggested in another topic, I would spend as much as you can on a good set of components (5 or 6" mid, tweet and passive x-overs), brands such as Focal, AVI, Crystal, Diamond, CDT etc. dont waste you money on rear speakers.Originally posted by Kazik16:

will you be running them from an amp? or from the headunit? coz this will effect which speakers to buy.
Re: what tweeters to get
ill be running them off an amp if i need to (i already have a spare)

Re: what tweeters to get
Any decent brand tweets you buy should come with an internal crossover. But yes i would defintely recommend going the route of getting a component set. You can get an infinity set on ebay for 60 bucks. I have those in my altima amped 200 watts and they pump.

i have a friend who knows a guy that owns a custom audio shop, and i can get stuff at-cost (the price the guy pays from the manufacturer is the price i buy it from him for), so really i just need to know what to buy, i can spend prolly $100us, i'd rather not spend that much, but i can if it'll make that much of a difference

Re: what tweeters to get
ok i know this post is kinda old but just had to get my 2 cents in. stop thinking about getting tweeters, go in to any outo sound stor and tell them you want the top of the line MB Quats component speakers . then when they tell you the price pick your jaw up off the ground buy them and walk out. for $1500 a pair they are the best sounding speakers i have ever herd, i am thinking of getting a pair of there lowere range models. but if you want a deacent pair of components eclipse has a pair for like $300
