Tweeter that I can cross hard at 2kz?

[RAM_Designs 5,000+ posts]

I'm looking for a solid tweeter that I can use with a 24db/oct crossover at 2khz. I've thought about doing horns, but I really don't feel like messing with it and spending a lot of money to do so(even though I have the same truck that the guys used for the ID vids on youtube about horn installation).

Have you guys found a tweeter to meet my needs? I'm having a hard time finding good reviews for one to run that low.

Just about any large-format tweeter should be able to play that low and take plenty of power.

Cal-27's or Cal-28's.

I can't fit a large format tweet in my a-pillar area...I'm working with around 3-3.5" max.

Deep chamber scan Illuminators, big $$$

But they have gone down a little.

That price is not bad at all for Scan Speak tweeters. I got to play with the 3/4" version, sounded very nice, extremely smooth top end.

SB Acoutics,has this new neo tweeter that looks promissing?

Zaph Audio did a review on it cousin tweeter(Smooth response and low distortion - there's not a lot to complain about, even considering the price. It is a form of ring radiator, and it's no surprise that performance is quite a bit like a Vifa XT25, but the SB is cleaner on the low end. It does not have as much 3.5 kHz cliff in the response as it's cheaper brother. There are a few tweeters that perform a tiny bit better but cost a lot more. Tested March 2009)

SB Acoustics SB29RDC ($50)

There's a few tangband tweeters on PE that have a pretty low Fs that should work. They're pretty cheap too at around 50 a pair.

Low fs does not mean that they will play low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Not cleanly at least.
