Has anyone ever tried or heard of anyone trying these?

Phenolic Ring Tweeter 8 Ohm 270-252

I've been trying to decide what to do with my girlfriend's new vehicle(also looking for something in my house), and I was wondering if anyone's tried these.

They have been around since the 60's and have a very muted sound that lacks what audiophiles call "air".

Did you see the listed frequency response?

Frequency response: 2,000-15,000 Hz

Yes, I saw the listed response. I've never seen or used a cone tweeter, so I'm very curious.

they are very smooth though. most of us can't hear above 15kHz in a car anyway. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i actually have a set of those, still in the boxes. got them on sale, i rebuild older speaker cabinets from time-to-time.

but they are too large for a car. you could put a 3-1/2" coax in it's place and be better off.

what vehicle? where can you put them? how are they aimed? can you fit ~3"?
