[Tmax98 3]

is this what ur talking about? Seas 27TFFNC/G (H1396) 1" textile dome tweeter i found this on madisound.com anymore places i should know about? and by seas neo u want me to find the seas tweeters with the neodymium magnet

thats it.

[Tmax98 3]

they say the long term power for them is 80rms at 4 ohms, would 50rms be good enough? of should i give them the 80 as recommended cuz im in the process of deciding on the amp for them.

[Tmax98 3]

?

[ANeonRider 3]

It is a tweeter, I barely need 25W on mine.

[Tmax98 3]

ya that was what i heard but then this one says they want 80w so u think i will be fine with 25-50w?

[JimJ 11]

Does it say they want 80W or that they're rated for 80W?

[Tmax98 3]

Nominal Impedance 4 Ohms

Recom. frequency range 2500-30000 Hz

Short term max. power 200 W

Long term max. power 80 W

Sensitivity (1W/1m) 91 dB

they do say max though

just because they're rated for 80w doesn't mean they need 80w to get ear-piercingly loud

Even with an 80w amp on them they will rarely draw more than a couple watts; however, I will add that headroom on a tweeter is extremely beneficial. Nonetheless 50w is more than adequate.

[Tmax98 3]

so im looking at 50w to the tweets,

how much do u recommend i feed the CAs?

[///M5 2,833]

I have had 25w on mine and 250w. I did like one better than the other, but it really will depend on your budget and desires. One thing I can tell you for sure is that you will never regret having headroom.

note: unless of course you treat the gain inappropriately since it is there and wreak havoc on things

i plan on making this system last so im not goin to try to make anything blow up lol

until i feel like upgrading further later
