[QUOTE="Papermaker85, post: 6952161, member: 572595"] also might i add im in a similar boat.. i love the airy topend and output but hate the nasty sound of the thin metal tweeters there just not very natural.. i have the CDT drt 26 silks. they sound great one of the best tweeters in car audio for the money but there not designed to be loud.. another speaker they have designed that is a really nice option for people like us is the es020.. its a larger tweeter.. it has a low q and a low FS.. sure its is going to sound OK at best off axis but on axis up high as im mounting them they will easily surpass the 20khz mark down to 2khz with a 12db otcave xover.. its a tuff task but cdt is amoung the best designers and they did a good job on this tweeter.. it truly is a midrange tweeter.. they say it should be crossed around 1kha but if your looking for the output increase and you have decent mids no more than 35 degreees off axis crossing them @ 2500 with a 12db otcave slop gives you nearly a 4db increase.. i warn you though be prepared to build a sealed housing for the rear wave as its going to get muddy very quick if you free air it..
