JL Audio tweeters

I had the C5's before my K2P's. The silk tweets sounded very nice even at high volumes. Lacked some midbass though and didn't get loud enough for me hence the upgrade (plus they crapped out on me). Fed 'em 75W. Good luck!

when you say they crapped out, how so?? What kind of amp and were the gains all set right? That sucks to hear.... How do you like the K2P' now? I'm really wanting to get a set of those!

Crapped out as in passenger side just straight up died on me and buzzed annoyingly. It might have been a faulty set cuz I did get 'em unauthorized on eBay for like $250. I had my 300/4v2 and it was getting 75W. Gains were set properly with DMM. Got the K2P's and broke 'em in for 3 weeks. Much louder and clearer. People say the tweets are harsh but I can stand it and for me it's a "in your face" type which is cool for me cuz I like to feel as if I'm in the music and not just hearing it, if that makes sense. I can crank it and it'll get louder than my C5's and I can still crank it up w/o clipping all the way to max. The thing I really wanted was more mid bass which I got tremendously. Doors were already heavily dynamated (extreme) and I had some dynaxorbs installed. I have 'em crossed at 50hz and they take it. It gets so low! I got me some mini subs in my door. Bridged the same amp, 150W apiece, got my rears (crappy pioneer pos) running off HU for my passengers. Hope this helps.

cliffnotes:

C5's good.

K2P's better.
