Had to repost my question from a few weeks ago. Accidentally pasted a paragraph I had typed for my TitanTalk forum thread.

So, I decided not to install my BNIB JVC KW-NT800HDT, yet. May install it in another vehicle or sell it. Already have the exact same one installed in my 2018 Calloway Camaro ZL1 1LE SC750 & absolutely LOVE it. So I bought the all new JVC JW-V940BW audiophile Navigation/Multimedia/Touchscreen

It's been a costly learning curve trying to figure out this whole iDataLink integration with the Maestro RR, ALDS, keyless start RFID Module, T-Harnesses for the JVC & for my new viper 7906V way LCD Alarm. Apparently the THR-NI3 & THR-NI4 T-Harnesses & the Maestro SW aren't applicable for my install. 20 years of installing car audio, step away for a few years & I misunderstood the whole iDataLink thing. Lack of product description & lack of wiring installation diagrams for my Titan. 

Anyway....

I seem to only have a pair of TN51 tweeters, but one is missing both positive & negative wires with no leads coming from the voicecoil, one PolyKevlar tweeter, one PS165 tweeter & one cheap Digital Designs Entry Level Tweeter. No pairs I can use. Ugh.

So since I just dropped $11k on my truck, I need 2 pairs of tweeters that sounds just as good if not better than original TN51 & TNK Tweeters, but affordable & preferably can handle some power. I will be using the passive Focal crossovers my components came with. Replacement pairs are $400 & $600+ & Focal's only weakness is their recycled Tweeter designs so they haven't changed over the years.

I need to not be spend more than $400 total, but if it's worth it to stretch that, I'll consider it.

Thanks

2 pair would be 530, but very likely worth it once installed and properly calibrated
