Tweeters?

Falcor · 01-20-2011, 09:25 AM

I tried what you suggested but they said at alpine that they do not sell the tweets separately, and i cant find them anywhere else. Will I need to buy another set of components now? or I was thinking since I am only using 2ch of my 4ch amp what if I just got some different tweeters and wired them directly to the other 2 channels on the amp and set them for high pass and just removed the old tweeters from the crossover, leaving the woofers the way they are (on the crossover attached to the other 2 ch). I hope that made sense. would this be an ill advised option?

or do you think i could possibly find some other tweeters that I could mate up with the crossover that is installed (similar power ratings and whatnot)?

I'm still having problems with mine...

I've been through 3 tweeters already and they are connected properly. The radio wasn't even loud... :-(

Any chance on finding another speaker that will fit in that spot? Is there such a thing as a 2" speaker?
