to tweet or not to tweet?

Recommended Posts

now i've heard that tweeters are very tempermental. i've heard stories of them conestantly blowing due to WAY to much power.... now upon thinking you could just hook up a crossover and restrict the power? right? also with the current engineering of the 6.5's and 6x9's is it even worth it to put in 2 or even 4 tweeters? (two in the front pillars, two by backseat passangers head). also the V-MAX cerwin vega seem like a good deal for about 50$ you get the 2 tweets and a crossover or in that case is it better to go with a higher end tweet system (if one is needed at all) and spend the extra 40$ per pair? my current system (after getting some things) 2 alpine type S 6x9's in the back, 2 6.5 alpine type S in the driver and passanger door, 2 pheonix gold ryval 1000w powering the 2 SSA icon 12's. and for the mid and high powering the pheonix gold ryval 1000w 4 channel amp. (OH YEAH also with the tweets if i end up getting them... depends on you.... i could just use the deck to power them instead of running them with the 6x9's or the 6.5's right?)

Thank you for your information.

Randomly adding tweeters will not solve any problems, only cause more.

Yeah, don't add any if you already have a component set or coaxials. You don't need more than 2 for the entire front end.

Also, crossovers don't restrict power overall. They only do it for the frequencies they are made to attenuate. As far as constantly blowing, I've never heard that at all. If you have a crossover on them there should be no problem. Maybe those people just played them full range?
