DS18 PRO-TWX2 Super Bullet Tweeter- FAQs
Q1: What is the power handling specification for these tweeters?
A: The PRO-TWX2 can handle up to 300 Watts Max Power (150 Watts RMS). Always ensure your amplifier’s output is matched correctly to prevent damage.
Q2: What is the impedance (Ohms), and why does it matter?
A: These tweeters have a 4-Ohm impedance. This is the standard impedance for most car audio systems and must match your amplifier’s stable operating impedance for optimal performance and to avoid overload.
Q3: Do I need a crossover to install these bullet tweeters?
A: Yes, absolutely. The included external inline crossover capacitor is essential. It blocks damaging low-frequency bass signals, sending only high-frequency sounds to the tweeter, protecting it and ensuring clear, crisp audio.
Q4: What is the sensitivity rating, and how does it affect sound?
A: With a high 109 dB sensitivity, these tweeters are extremely efficient. This means they produce very loud and clear sound even with less power from your amplifier, reducing strain on your entire audio system.
Q5: What is the frequency response range?
A: They operate within a 2,000 Hz – 20,000 Hz range. The inline crossover ensures they only reproduce sounds within this high-frequency spectrum, perfect for vocals and cymbals.
Q6: How should I mount and aim these tweeters for the best sound?
A: The bullet design and included mounting hardware allow for versatile placement (on dash, A-pillars, or sails). For best results, aim them toward the listener’s head to create a precise and immersive soundstage.
Q7: Are they compatible with my existing car stereo or amplifier?
A: They are compatible with any standard car audio system that can power 4-Ohm speakers. They are an ideal upgrade for factory systems or aftermarket setups needing enhanced high-end clarity.
Q8: What is the purpose of the swivel mount?
A: The swivel mount allows you to pivot and precisely direct the sound after installation. This lets you fine-tune the sound imaging and staging from your listening position without remounting the hardware.
