Tweeter question?
Is there such things as 500 watts tweeters?

Yes.Originally posted by souanpc View Post
500W is only a power rating, It doesn't dictate how loud it is.

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end. -
What he said...
Whether or not you can put 500 watts to a tweeter is a more interesting questionComment

Even more interesting would be if you stood in front of it @ 500w . . .Originally posted by sonikaccord View Post

ha this is something I have experience with.
Look up audio pipe, they make a very solid tweeter that is 500watts max to the pair of them, literally they are like small shot put balls. Literally they were too heavy to mount horizontally without making some serious brackets. I ended up trading the pair of them I had away for some work to my last car.

The ones I had looked like this but were clearly labeled 500watts across the backBeing normal is probably the lamest thing you can try to beComment

They can trust me, I installed them in my brothers blazer hooked up to a 900 watt fusion amp that also powered a pair of pioneer speakers and they definitely took 450watts with no problem and very little heating. Also my friend has a '97 accord with 6 speakers and 1 of these tweeters in every door, taking about 700 watts a door though. It all depends on how you break them in and how you use them.Being normal is probably the lamest thing you can try to beComment

That's all I needed to know. Where did he cross them? Or do they have their own filter?Comment

Like Sonikaccord said where are they crossed over at? I'd like to hear them.
about to get my hands dirty!Comment

I'm not sure the specifics, I never got to rip his system apart, but what I know was there are two 1400 watt american bass amps powering the doors and 2 2000watt american bass amps powering two diamond audio 12's. 4 batteries total running it all and I'm not even sure he has a crossover, I've never looked or asked, but the entire spare tire area is filled with amps and batteries and the sub box takes up the entire trunk and weighs over 125lb. The whole system is quite old and dying because it's nearly 10 years old but it's loud enough to get a noise violation ticket from some cops that were inside a starbucks as we drove by.
Oh and to make this accord even worse, there are 3 tv's, a ps2 and 18" chrome wheels and it had underglow for a long time.Being normal is probably the lamest thing you can try to beComment
