Best tweeters you've heard... *Suggestions*

[Kastlez_ 10+ year member]

I'm completely new to front stage so i know very little about what brands/specs/type (hard dome, soft dome, etc. to look into as far as tweeters go..

What other important things should I be looking for as far as specs go?

Just need something budget friendly that sounds good crisp and clear nothing that gets ridiculously loud because it's going into a show car that doesn't get driven much.

Have an Alpine MRV-450

50w x 4 + 200w RMS

30w x 4 + 150 RMS @ 4ohm (12v)

60w x 4 @ 2ohm

look for lower fs' and higher power handling with a sensitivity that fits your mids and installation well

Fs, off-axis response plots, breakup nodes to avoid...

Man, thats a hard one.

Here are some I like. Dynaudio Esotar, Polk Audio SR, Morel, Focal Utopia (the only hard dome I have liked), Renaissance Triumph, Zapco C2K, Hybrid L1, and of course the ID CD2 and Ultra horns (its a tweeter if you will //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif )

forgot to mention i don't need horns or anything really really loud.

Just something that sounds good and is somewhat compact.
