WTB: Alpine Type-X tweeters or something similiar

[LBC99 10+ year member]

I'm looking to upgrade the tweeters on my set of Alpine type-r comps. Ideally I'd like to try a set of type-x tweets, but I'd be open to trying some others. I'm not looking to spend more than 30 bucks shipped. I'd prefer silk tweeters. The type r's tweets are way too harsh.

Let me know what you have. Thanks.

You should get some of the ones I'm running, $50 at http://www.midwestelectronics.com Blau VC100, sound great.

what are you running them with/off? Do you think they will blend in ok with my type r mids/xovers? They would be getting around 90watts rms off a rockford amp.

Running with Illussion audio IM6's midbass, all run active. If hte type-r xover is anywhere between 2000 and 3500 hz you will be pleased. Thats plenty of power for'em.

Ive heard nothing but good things about those. I've heard the aluminum is LESS harsh than the silk version.

And here is a full blown tweeter reveiw for ya: http://www.zaphaudio.com/tweetermishmash/

thanks for the help guys. I'm guess I'm deciding between the blau vc100 nismo suggested and the seas alxmlr mentioned

Right now I'm leaning towards the blau just becausew of the price along with free shipping.

But how about CDT Audio TW-25S tweets new for $60? I think someone is selling some used tweets here.
