What tweeters suit me?

[ryanthie 10+ year member]

I'm unsure of what tweeters to get so far...

I'm going to have Crescendo 4 6.5" speakers, with a DC Level 3 15"

The tweeters need to be 4 ohm, and have an okay power handling. They will be sharing about 600w with the Crescendos. 300 per side, that is.

Any suggestions?

those nendos are rated at 150rms each

IIRC the Crescendos are 100 RMS each, so the tweets just need to be able to handle around 100rms each. I won't be running them very hard, though. Just want to be able to keep up with the bass. Won't need the full 600rms for them to keep up with 1500rms to a single 15". Was going to try the Audiopipe tweets...but I don't think I trust their tweeters to hold much power, though they are rated for like 250RMS or some high rating like that

Id bump up to a level 4 if your gonna run 1500rms. I could heat my m1 18's up pretty quick off 1150 a sub.

I actually have intention of using a DMM to set it at about 11-1200 to prevent heat issues. I'm not sure of the price on a level 4 15, but I'm trying to spend as little as possible with this build.

I'll have to look when I get home at specs and whatnot for those.. What kinda price are you trying to get?

Pair of AQ supertweets would keep up with 2 mids per side, run that set up in the wife's mini van. With about 20watts going to each one since they're in the dash and reflect off the glass.

Your front stage will totally overpower a single 15....

Ahh I forgot AQ made tweets! Right now they're on sale for $30 a pair... But BOTH lines of their tweeters say they're not available??? Not sure if that means backorder or what... I'd like to order them now since they're on sale for half price! Might just order them up tonight and hope they're in stock soon.

Thanks for suggesting these!
