jreese92 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I don't fully understand the differences between silk dome and aluminum dome tweeters. I'm not really in the position to throw away money testing both of them, so I want to make the right decision the first time. Can someone help me out?

Blackedout Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) It's completely user dependent and crossover dependent on which one you prefer. I've noticed that the silk domes seem to be a little easier on the ear. I prefer silk over aluminum, however, if you listen to music that requires a little brighter tweets, like rap, then an aluminum might be the tweeter for you. Like I said, I prefer a silk dome. I listen to everything. EDIT: Judging from your signature, it might be time to step it up and grab a highs amplifier. An Alpine MRP-F300 should put a little more volume in your highs. From there, save a little and drop your money on a component set. Pioneer does make pretty decent component sets for the money, if you want to keep a matching setup. They can be had for a little more than a set of tweeters alone.... Something to think about. Havent personally used these, but at your stage in the game, it should be a noticeable upgrade from (assuming) coaxial speakers. Read the reviews. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_31089_Pioneer-TS-A1604C.html?gclid=CKy6kKzwkaoCFRpNgwod0z_jzA#tabs Edited July 21, 2011 by Blackedout Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackedout Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Planar tweets are tricky. Wouldn't recommend them for someone who isn't willing to fail on their first installation with them. Keep it simple. Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
