Different sound from the tweeter if it has a silk or titanium dome.

can u be more detailed? can anyone help me on this one?

Titanium will have a metally harsh sound. Silk will have a softer sound. Both can sound good. It is personal preference. As for size it's up to you. I would get the biggest tweeter you can fit. And Kicker is not known for tweeters, but they do make decent equipment.

so wha companies make some good sounding loud tweeters?

Thats all personal preference...

Listen to a bunch and look for characteristics that you like.

Silk tweeters are usually less detailed, but much easier to listen to at high volumes ...

I guess this is where MB Quart went wrong...although, listening to some new Q-Line and Premium speakers recently was drastically different than before - I actually liked the tweeters. Im probably an idiot though, because they probably didnt change anything from last year.

I have titanium tweeters in my rear and silk in the front and I personally feel the sound is cleaner and more realistic out of the silk tweeters.
