Is this as good as I'm thinking it is?

This has been posted on DIYMA for a while.  The original tweeters that meet manufacturer spec are fantastic, but with these being out of spec it's hard to say.  If they are just slightly off spec (outside of normal manufacturing tolerances) then they are probably fine and a great deal.  If they are way the fuck out there spec wise then maybe not so much.  I think I read in one of the prior auctions that impedance can range anywhere from 6ohm to 12ohm.  It might have been 8ohm to 12ohm, either way that's a hell of a variance, and without knowing exactly why the specs are off makes it hard to determine how close to original performance you are going to get.

 

Personally if I needed/wanted that tweeter, or a tweeter of that caliber, I wouldn't chance it on the out of spec ones.  If it's a shits 'n giggles purchase than why not.  It might be worth the gamble if you have $100 to blow and don't mind if they are way out of spec and don't meet original design performance.  Or for not much more money you could get a known good tweeter that might fit your needs better, depending on what those needs are.

All I needed to know, thanks!
