super tweets or silk dome?

[Justin braaapp]

Im redoing my front stage and really don't know what to go with as far as tweeters. I'm going to be buying an audioque Q4 120 or a ppi phantom 900.4 to power whatever I get. I really dont know weather to go with super tweets or some silk domes. The main super tweets i was looking at were the crescendo ft1's or the soundqubed ones. Ive heard that super tweets are way to harsh on the ears but I've also heard if they are powered right they can sound amazing. My biggest concern is that a single pair of silk dome tweets will get drown out by my sp4 15. If anybody can give me a little more insight between the two id appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

I've always liked the sound of a silk tweeter vs metal... But to each their own

I should have said the main music I listen to is country but I also listen to a lot of rap and slowed stuff daily so id like a tweeter that works well for both

Can you recommend some nice silk domes in the 50-80$ price range? Thanks for the help

I've been using some old school Fosgates... FNX Line, there were some on eBay few months ago

nobody else has an opinion on super tweets and silk domes?

I will say, if you have your tweeters aimed right, you'll likely be fine w/o super tweets. What do you have for tweeters right now? How much power are you feeding the SP4?

If it's your daily driver ride I'd go silk.

Right now i have focal access 165 a1 sg components but the left side blew two weeks ago so im looking for new options and the sp4 is wired at one ohm to a nendo 3500

I personally like super tweets but I like really bright highs . I have no experience with the sq q4 120 but I own 2 ppi 900.4 and lemme tell ya the 900.4 on a set of jbl selenium super tweets will deffinatly not be drowned out . The jbl's are like 50$ and I personally like the sound of them.

If you got the doe spring for beyma ast22's they are a bit spendthrift but are well worth their cost

If you don't mind me asking whats your sub setup? I wanna make sure the super tweets wont be too much for my one sp4 15

The FT1 or AQ's would work well with your mids. You can always dial back the gain on them if they're too bright.

I run the AQ's in the wifey's mini van and also in my demo set up. They can sound very good if tuned properly...

I was told they will work well and get loud off the deck power alone? What do you think?

I was going to power them off the deck and use the amp for my mids only

Not a fan of deck power for anything.

The AQ tweets come with an inline cap = HPF

Use the HPF on your HU and FMOD's for LPF for you mids...

My bad I kind of got confused there. Your saying dont use them with the deck?
