Need new tweeters.. any new ideas?

[Smondo17 0]

So i blew my morel supremo's.. 440$. Nice. Anyway what other tweeters are out there that sound great but are cheaper. I was on madisound and was looking at other morel drivers. The tweeters are so much cheaper then what i paid for these supremo's. I still want to get them but they are expensive and now i am questioning if they are worth it. Any tweeter recommendations would be appreciated. I am running a pioneer 9800 headunit off a sundown 100.4 amp. My mids are SEA excel's.

Peerless HDS.

What were you crossing your tweeters over at?

You could have just asked us to move This topic instead of creating a new one.

I'm sorry i realized i posted in the wrong section. I don't remember exactly what they were crossed over at. Way to low

Peerless HDS

How do they stack up against the Supremo's? What are there power handling in rms?

Better in every way.

As for power handling... don't run them so low next time, that's what the mids are for.

haha yeah i def learned a very expensive lesson. They dont have a recommended power handling on the specs though. Thats what i am uncertain about.

I haven't heard the Supremo, but am a bit shocked at your "better in every way" comment as I'd expected the Supremo to be a rather nice tweet. Hell at $350+ a pair and from Morel I just figured they were pretty sweet, not that I'd put them in a car anyways.

Definitely an expensive lesson you had. The next one you will get is that a good install beats good equipment. Focus your energy there and it will get better.

Oh and power handling on a tweet is a moot point, specs don't mean anything at all on any of them. It will all be related to how low you cross them over and have hardly anything to do with anything else. BTW a good real 5 dynamic watts on a tweeter can cause hearing damage, actually you could damage your ears with less than 1w but it too will depend on how you use it. One other note, I am not recommending that you use a 5w amplifier as you can surely set a 100w+ amp so that it won't hurt any tweeter.

Well, my comment might be a little harsh... but I'm really not much of a Morel fan.

I can't say they are my favorites either, but that tweet I just expected to be worthwhile.

I thought the same thing.. confusing how a pair of Peerless ($120) are better then a pair of supremo ($440).
