This pair of 52 mm silk dome tweeter speakers is for the person rebuilding a speaker cabinet or adding treble to a car door, not for plugging straight into a phone. A soft silk film dome handles the top end at 6 ohm and 30 W, while a finned aluminum radiator behind it carries heat away from the coil. The round flange has four mounting holes, so a flat panel and a few small screws are all you need. It is part of our Electronics collection.

Frequently asked questions
Do these tweeters need a crossover?
Yes, plan on one. These 52 mm tweeter speakers are passive and listed down to 1500 Hz, so a crossover or suitable capacitor should keep low bass notes away from the silk dome.
Can I mount these tweeter speakers in a car door?
You can if the spot stays dry and has 23 mm of depth behind the flange. These tweeters are not water resistant, so keep them away from window drips and rain.
Will a 6 ohm tweeter work with my 4 ohm or 8 ohm system?
A 6 ohm tweeter can usually be used alongside other speakers through a crossover, but check your amplifier's minimum load first. Wiring these tweeter speakers directly in parallel with other drivers lowers the total load.
Is the 30 W figure for each tweeter?
The 30 W rating is listed for the tweeter model, and the pack holds two. Keep your amplifier volume at a level where the treble stays clean, since distortion can damage small dome tweeters.
