[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 8742988, member: 573988"] I somehow lost the tweeters on my JBL GX600c components while they were in storage. So it's time to buy some new ones. I'm actually pretty happy with the 6.5" Midrange drivers, and they've managed to hold up well to my amp. But the way wiring is in my car, it will greatly simplify installation if the new tweeters have their own in-line crossover. I need something loud. It needs to keep up with 4 JL audio 10w6v2's on a Taramps HD3000 amp. Also, needs pretty high RMS rating. I'm pushing my highs and mids with an old school Rockford punch 800.4 which can product 200 RMS at 2 ohms per channel. Not positive, but I think the JBL Mids are 4 Ohm. So 4 ohm tweeters would be best. I've been honestly kind of shocked at how low the prices I'm seeing are. I've seen these DS18 bullet tweeters. for $26 that seem way too good to be true. But at $26 I might just buy them to see what they are like. They are highly rated on amazon, and (on paper) seem to match my needs perfectly. The only thing I would like is a little better frequency response range. These only quote 2.2-19kHz [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BBQYCNV/?tag=caraudiocom-20[/URL] I noticed they have a slightly bigger model that goes from 1.6 - 20kHz for $14.00 more... [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BBRTKR9/?tag=caraudiocom-20[/URL] As far as more reputable companies with similar product specs. All I really see is the pioneer pro series, but they only go as low as 3.5khz, and seems like i'd need some lower extension on those. They do go up to 27kHz. But the "super tweeter" frequencies are less important to me. I just want very loud and very clear highs to keep up with my bass. Doesn't need to be studio-quality, but at least concert quality. Certainly not fart can quality. I like that the DS18's have a more traditional tweeter range, but with a super tweeter style construction and massive power handling. What do you guys think? I mean I've bought Chinese food that cost more than $26... So i'll probably buy them regardless. But what kind of products do you recommend I look into? [/QUOTE]
