tweeters

Recommended Posts

ok so my stock tweets are going to sh1t, they make a static noise all the time. so im thinking of just buy some aftermarket ones instead of stock, but i have no clue what to look for in tweets. like soft dome, hard the different materials like silk, titanium, etc. so if someone could give me a crash course in tweets it would e awsome. all i ahve is the HU for power and NO crossover just those gay inline bass blockers. i know ghetto but i wasn't planning on upgrading them but this static is relly gay.

Do your bass blockers get up to like 5k?

You tweeters most likely aren't the problem. Send a speaker a dirty signal and it'll sound like ass.

it does it at all volumes. just when you turn it up it gets louder. nothing else is making any noise. so idk what else it could be.

Find the rating of the resistor that is the bass blocker. When you get that you can look up online what frequency it cuts off at, if you also know the impedance of the tweeter.

soft- silk

hard- metal, like aluminum or titanium.

They generally have quite different sound, softs are more laid back while hards are more accurate but can also be more bright or have that "ringing" sound. I personally prefer softs. But nobody can tell you what you'll like, so I'd suggest going to a shop and listening to different component sets with the different types.

yeah oops I meant check the rating of the capacitor, not resistor.
