[QUOTE="zako, post: 8023934, member: 629735"] I agree. Most car tweeters can handle that. If you want a tweeter that's better than average consider Seas Prestige Aluminum tweeter. There is also the textile version, though people who heard both say the aluminum is more detailed without being harsh. [URL="http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/hard-dome-tweeter/seas-prestige-27tafnc/g-h1397-1-aluminum-dome-tweeter/"]The Madisound Speaker Store[/URL] However, I must warn you that being compatible with the crossover frequency and slope is not enough. The issue is with matching levels. The original crossover network expects a tweeter with a certain sensitivity. Generally, we have no idea if the replacement tweeter has higher or lower sensitivity. Moreover, if you mismatch the expected and actual sensitivities, may make the sound either better or worse. After all, due to the unpredictable distance from the individual speakers to your head, the passive crossover can not always match speaker's levels to each other well.
