Types of Car Tweeters

Compact tweeters

Small tweeters such as the Sundown Audio SA-1T and the Crossfire C5-25S kit mount in sail panels, dash corners or door grilles and blend with coaxial or component systems for smooth, everyday listening.

Super tweeters

Super tweeters, including the Sundown Audio GT-R1, BT-R1 and ET-R1 and the Crossfire XS-ST1, are efficient and loud, made to keep up with pro audio midranges. A replacement XS-ST1 diaphragm is listed separately for service.

Horns and horn drivers

Compression drivers like the Sundown Audio SDEH-04 bolt to a horn, and the SHFST and SHNMD super horns use a 2 inch throat, with ferrite and neodymium magnets respectively. Horns project sound with high efficiency, which is why they show up so often in competition and street builds. The Sparked Innovations Tweet Tweet Blaster offers another high-output option.

How to Choose and Protect Car Tweeters

Every tweeter needs a high-pass filter. Send bass to one and it can fail quickly, so use the passive crossover or capacitor supplied with a set, or set a steep high-pass on a DSP or amplifier. Crossover points depend on the specific driver, so follow the manufacturer's recommendation.

Impedance matters when you run several per channel. Two 8 ohm units in parallel present 4 ohms, a common way to add drivers without overloading an amplifier. Because horns and super tweeters are very sensitive, they need far less power than the midranges they support, and many builders give them their own channel so gain can be set lower.

Pairing Your Tweeters

Match them with 6.5 inch speakers or 8 inch speakers for a full front stage, power them from one of our car amplifiers, and browse the full speakers collection for the rest of the system.
