Tweeters

[Jakerrr 10+ year member]

One of my Hertz HT 25's blew and I'm just going to upgrade the tweeters to a new set. Need something that can take a whole lot of power and get loud. Preferably soft dome. Hertz HT 28's would be nice. Anything that can easily handle 100 watts. Must be under 80mm overall diameter. And preferably 4 or 6 ohm

I have a set of these...

Looking for $60 shipped for the set. I can post pics when I get to my computer

Looking for something less expensive than $150 per tweeter. And rated at least 80w rms. I would get the $50 scanspeak discovery but they're on the big side

Would aluminum dome have a significantly different sound than soft? I've only heard soft domes and I like the sound but I have no experience with aluminum. I've heard they tend to be harsher but idk if that's a myth.

Still got the ampere dream series tweets

Not significantly but to me I prefer aluminum over soft because I think it has a more accurate sound where soft domes have a smoother sound. It really comes down to personal preference.

Check out the Krome Tweeters. They have some good options.

The Krome NEO30T 2" would fit but don't super tweeters need to be crossed over fairly high? I'm only running 2 way and am crossing at 2.5k

Those tweets have a frequency range of 1.5k-25k so they should work great.

I'm using my amp bridged and it is not stable below 4 ohms bridged. Those speakers are 4 ohm IMPEDANCE, but the voice coil resistance (Re) is 2.7 ohms. The Re is the number that matters right? As in that's what the amp sees nominally? Or is it the impedance?

Look at the nominal impedance since its the average the resistance generally seen when it is playing within it intended range. They make it easier to determine the resistance the amp will see with an average since the resistance changes with each frequency played and can vary widely.

The Re is the DC resistance of a voice coil while resting and the Nominal is the average the amp sees while playing.

I run 2 sets of these in my install. LOVE them.. Was able to toss out supertweets and mini horns thank god... Clean sounding and loud as all can be....

I suggested the CDT tweeters because they're exactly what you asked for. ES-010 is 2/3 the price and they have a replaceable voice coil assembly for when you blow them.

I have a set of CDT ES-010-WD (wide dispersion) bnib. PM we can discuss price if you are interested. Obviously I agree with Trumpet
