I loved mine, kept up with a 147db sub stage, ran the uns off 200w and the ft1 with a 4-90 with barely nay gain at all since theyre so dang loud. But were you buying these from? Theyre out of stock and no eta

Why?

Why?

probably didnt have the proper processing to control them or they just arent up to par SQ wise.

an 80 prs in network mode is the bare minimal head unit i'd use to run super tweets. Or else it'll sound like garbage. I think you got that in. Just to tame the heavy peaks, you should be crossing the tweets up really high and cross the mids low. Even though you think there's a gap in between them, lets say mids crossed at 3.5khz and super tweets at 8khz or 10khz, it'll still have a blend because of how stupid peaky super tweets are.

Yes I have the 80prs & will run them active. Do you have another tweeter to recommend?

There is better for the money. Rebuilding them was a huge PITA. Never lasted long even on low clean power with crossover at 5k. Replacement diaphragms are never in stock.

I recommend Mclaren or PRV for super tweeters.

I have 2 black FT1s somewhere that I don't want but don't even want to bother with selling.

Compression tweeters was once recommended to me. I figured I'd go with the FT1s just to match the speakers.

Anybody else care to speak on behalf of the UN-65s?

I had 4 UN-10s in my doors. They get stupid loud even on low power. I had issues with my dust caps coming in glued but I think that was just an issue with the first batch of them.
