I have a set of tweeters and I want to know if they are better than the stock tweeters. I got them for free so I don't know how good they are. They are Phoenix Digital.
Here are the specs:

Max Power: 300w/Pair
Max Continuous Power: 150W
Sensitivity: 92dB@ 1W/1M
Frequency Response: 2KHz-20KHz
Built in Crossover: 4.7uF/50V capacitor
Rated Impedance: 4 ohms

Should I put them in?

 

I'd recommend upgrading your other components before tweeters... they are the weaker link in my opinion.. midranges are very easy to distort, haven't yet made the highs do it..

Can't wait to replace these suckers.

 

but do you know if the ones i have are better than stock? I wouldn't want to make my system sound worse by installing them, but then again if they are better, why should i let a good pair of tweeters go to waste.

 

can u actually hear the tweeters?

 

Well, those tweeters are meant to be used with an amplifier. Your sound would probably be worse off if you installed them over the stockers which run with the regular wattage out of the head unit.

 

it says no amplifier needed, sorry for not mentioning that before.

 

really wouldn't hurt to just try them out...if there's no real difference I'll stay with the stock ones. what kind of HU are you usuing right now?

 

If you have some time, why not drop one in and then use the balance to check how the new one sounds versus the old one?

Not sure it will be worth the time, but heck.. they are free and you already have em.

B-

 

thanks for the replies, I'm running the Kenwood DD7015 right now. I'll try them out...

 

to those who have removed the tC's tweeters.. is there a crossover involved? or is it just parallel wired off of the midrange in the door?

 

bump..

anyone know if the tC uses crossovers for the tweeters?

 

i highly doubt there is an X-over but there is only one way to find out......

 

yeah take the door off.. too bad i'm in michigan and it's like 14 degrees, and i have no garage.. hey you're in california.. you can do it.. let me know

 

no crossover in the doors for the tweeters........

 

i bet you they will sound the same as the stock tweeters. it wierd, my stock rear speakers sounded better than my 6.5" fusion compnents, the components aren't built for any bass lower than 200 hz...so i lost out on those, but i spent a good amount of time drilling new holes, so whatever, i kept them. the tweeters sounded a little bit sweeter in the back.

the tC has one of the best stock systems i've ever heard

 

you're rear speakers are attenuated from your front speakers.....you need to run new direct wiring to the components to get their full affect......there is some type of resistor in the wiring somewhere from the factory.....best solution is to run new better wire....
