Looking for some high quality tweeters for another install i am doing.
Need to be highly regarded SQ tweeters but with a not too high price tag.
Also need to able to play fairly low for tweeters as the midrange of the mids being used starts to roll off at 3k. Dont want harsh sounding tweeters either as my metal domes are quite harsh in my other install.
They also need to be suited to an "UP HIGH" install in the dash or pillars.

Can anyone suggest some brands i should be looking at and where i would be able to purchase them in brisbane or online?

You would have to consider the Morel SUPREMO tweeters.
These are very high SQ and held in high esteme by most audiophiles.

Not all things in the car audio industry are created equal...
Especially equipment and installers.

A bad installer won't blame his tools or his skill, he'll blame the equipment!

Morel MT23 - small, smooth and sweet.

2005 National Champion (Pro Street Class) uses them to good effect mounted in the sails.

i think i wont more trophys than anyone else in CAASQ in the last 2 years running Vifa XT25's
cheep as chips and sound fantastic.
QUOTE (RMA @ Feb 6 2010, 01:22 AM) My only regrets are:
Selling Fudd an amp (for a fraction of the real price) that had been returned by Autobarn Geelong which had been incorrectly used by AB Geelong and turned out to be faulty when Fudd started using it.
Whilst he was given a new amp after it could not be fixed, he never acknowledged any of the assistance given and bitches to this day about it.

recently purchased a pair of the vifa's from Advance AE (very good sale btw they are excellent) and with minimal tuning they have already brought my car to life, i've never heard music like it before. Maybe read pulse-r's review of them.
