when choosing a tweeter?

[D-train-13k]

alright. im wanting to look into getting some new tweeters to put in my pillars.

im doing a couple 4'' dayton mids in each pillar and i was wondering

what do i look for when choosing a tweeter.

thanks guys

For one look for a tweeter that can keep up with your mids and I would say one that will cross your mids and go up and handle high hertz without sounding like its getting its ass whooped. What's the frequency range of the daytons

from 60 to 10k hz

Then I would get a tweeter that could cross at 4k I would get a super tweeter I am running PPI with my seleniums but will be getting crescendo super tweets soon

So is there some sort of chart you go from when match a mid with a tweet? Like since seleniums 6inch mid have no matching tweet can you just use like the aq tweeters?

im pretty sure you can mix match whatever you want. but as long as they're both good it shouldnt matter

[IBleedMusick]

Yeah you can match a mid range with a tweet as long as it sounds good and yeah the PPI tweets are not big at all or you can go with a soft dome tweet but you need to get one with some power thing about pa highs is it doesn't take much power to get em loud the crescendos have a big body but the PPI tweets are not space consuming at all
