Ok, as my mosey towards my 3-way active setup, I'm selling off parts of my 2-way. The W18NXs have gone a little while ago, and I recently got my XT19s installed, so I'm now letting go of my Alpine tweeters.
Here's a few pics:
From the pics, you can see one of the emblems have fallen off. I did have that saved somewhere in case someone wanted it when I sold it, but I've lost track of it since. They're just lightly glued on and are probably better off without, lol. Anywho, the one is missing it and it's lost and gone forever.
As well, I have soldered wires on the back tabs. You can do whatever you want with those. One of the tweeters did break a tab off from too much fiddling, and I broke the other off soon after. I just soldered the wires directly to the I guess I'll call "stumps," not the best word, where the tabs connect to the tweeter. This worked plenty well actually and makes the connection quite sturdy. The tabs aren't real easy to break off really, just me fiddling with it too much and pulling on wires.
The other tweeter's fine and still with the tabs. If you happen to break one off, it's a rather easy fix and really just makes for a more durable setup.
The tweeters are in 100% working condition, had them for somewhere over a year. Here's a link to my old review of them I wrote up a while back:

I have recently been able to play with lower frequency performance after I got my Ural HU. They can play very low, under 1kHz down to around 800-900Hz without rolling off, but you are greatly limited by excursion at this level. You can get by with easier listening levels at this point, but loud listening isn't advisable. I've found they can get quite loud and stay within their linear range and clean as long as you stay above 2kHz. Above 2.5kHz, I could never hear any level of distortion even a extremely high volumes, a level I like to call "screaming." They are robust performers. I've always considered these as a "half-way" tweeter, something sort of in between a normal tweeter and a 2" dome mid. They sacrifice a little top end for serious output capability and low end extention. They will pair with any woofer. I think I've run them with 5 different woofers now, and because they can cross high or low, they can mate to anything with ease.
I'm looking for $150 shipped.
