WTB tweeters for my truck

[manyhobbies 10+ year member]

I am looking for decent reasonable price tweeters. I am looking for a pair and I need them to be compact so I can fab them into the factory spot where the factory ones are that I have blown "in the front door". Oh ya the truck is a 96-2000 chevy crew cab. I am gonna guess that they can be upto 1.5" total diameter and prefer wattage to be around 75rms 150peak. I will measure area I have available and will update size if needed.

I also want a set that I can mount on the rear doors and not sure on size there but prefer same wattage.

I am looking on ebay but total dimensions are cloudy there and I have unanswered questions.

A note: I want the ones for the front doors to work with the rf t series 6.5" coaxials that I have in there.

For the rear I have earthquake 6.5" shallow subwoofers non coaxial in the doors and want a set to work best with those, I do have memphis 4x6 coaxials in the very rear pillars but the highs are not all that great back there.

Please let me know what you have and what your bottom dollar is. I'm not looking for the best most expensive stuff out there, just something cheap thats gonnna work and take the power that I have available and lastly thats gonna sound good.

Even if you can refer something that is cheap but good will work for me aswell. Thank you. Russ

Could you give dimensions of the tweets and do these use the bulky crossover or just the little inline caps?

The MB Quartz stuff is good indeed but dont have a need for comps at the moment.

Maybe a pic to rfwlll@yahoo.com would be nice aswell. Thank you, Russ

What is the total o.d. of these tweets and what is the size dimension of the crossover? Thanks and if you could send a pic to rfwlll@yahoo.com that would be great. Thanks, Russ

Not sure I have the room for them, I will have to go measure and let ya know. So how do I keep from blowing tweeters, should I install a ballast with them? I hate the idea of replacing them just to see them blow from too much power grr. Russ

By the way do these have a swivel mount? I could prolly mount them on the back doors.

I have a 4ch amp that's running 65 rms to my 4 infinity kappa speakers in my accord. I got some little sony tweeters at best buy and just tapped them into the front speakers channel and they are doing just fine. I wouldn't worry about blowing them.

I measured the available area for fabing tweets in the factory location. If I don't use the factory plate that the stock tweeters were mounted to and just mount them to the switch panel then I can get tweeters in there but they can only me a max of 1 7/8" od. So I am guessing that they would have to be like 1/2"-5/8" tweets. The stockers are 3/8" no wonder they did'nt last long lol. So if anyone has a set that match the max outside diameter please let me know if have then or know what ones I could buy elsewhere. Thank you and thanks Alex. Russ
