This speaker is not as listed or described! It is not 8 ohms, it is definitely 4 ohms, and even has the wrong label on it claiming it is 8 ohms. WRONG! If you have one (I have six of these), measure every one of them, and you'll find out they are 4 ohm. So beware, you can overpower them easily if you think they are marked correctly; they are not. MEASURE with a multimeter BEFORE USING! Also, you'll find that when you measure them for resistance, you'll see that there IS NO CAPACITOR IN THEM AT ALL! The listing is just a lie; the spring terminals that the wires attach to are directly attached to the voice coil; there is no capacitive protection in these whatever! So beware; you'll easily blow them up if you assume there is protection, like the description says. Additionally, since the spring terminals are directly screwed to little tabs that are directly soldered to the voice coil ribbon wire, just twisting the spring terminals to get them to align right will TEAR OFF THE RIBBON WIRE FROM THE TERMINAL INSIDE!!! And now, you have a tweeter that doesn't work at all. The screws that mount this terminal arrangement (Phillips head, inside of the back frame) are not tight at all, and will move and turn, tearing off the ribbon cable inside with the slightest movement! If you have a pair of these, and it's too late to return them (mine all were), here's the fix: you'll need a ten-power magnifier and a very tiny precise soldering iron. Remove the back cover plate (three screws, and you'll see a poorly machined screw countersink), and look where the ribbon cable is soldered to the back of the terminals. There is a folded over metal strip that is mounted to the screw, if the ribbon cable is torn, carefully unsolder the good one (usually one is good, the other is torn) so you can then gently lift the diaphragm plate from the assembly. Be very careful here; it's as thin as a piece of aluminum foil; don't touch the diaphragm. Lift it straight out so you don't damage the voice coil. I found all kinds of solder and tiny bits of metal in the magnet frame, clean these out of the coil gap with masking tape, card stock, and compressed air. Inspect the voice coil; usually these are good, unless you've really overpowered the tweeter, and then they are toast. Fold back the solder strips mounted on the screws and TIGHTEN THE SCREWS. Then, fold the solder strips back over. If you have any ribbon left at all, you can gently peel back the mylar sleeve around the solder area and carefully and quickly do a quick solder job reattaching the ribbon cables. This has worked on the four that I have that failed, and they are working again. Be sure you add capacitive filtering to this unit; it needs to be in a proper crossover. I hope this review helps those who are stuck with a non-functional tweeter. It's sad, because the design is decent and the output is okay. Just bad manufacturing and assembly, with incorrect description! Good luck!

These tweeters are the best to have I am writing this review because I had them for over 4 years and I had no issues with them. I highly recommend them.

I recently purchased the Audiotek W460S 600 Watt Titanium Super Car Bullet Tweeter in a pack of 2, and I have mixed feelings about them.Firstly, these tweeters are powerful. The 600 watts of output is impressive, and they certainly deliver on the loudness factor. If you're looking to add some serious high-frequency sound to your car audio system, these tweeters have the potential to do that.The built-in capacitor filter is a convenient feature. It helps to protect the tweeters from receiving frequencies they can't handle, which can extend their lifespan. Plus, it can improve the overall sound quality by preventing distortion at high volumes.However, there are some downsides to consider. First, the build quality is a bit lacking. The construction feels somewhat cheap, and the materials don't inspire confidence in long-term durability. Additionally, the installation can be a bit tricky, and the included instructions are not very detailed.Another issue is that these tweeters might not be suitable for all types of music. They excel in delivering crisp high frequencies, but they can sometimes be overly harsh or piercing, especially if your audio source isn't balanced properly. It's important to fine-tune your car audio system to get the best results with these tweeters.In conclusion, the Audiotek W460S 600 Watt Titanium Super Car Bullet Tweeters are a mixed bag. They offer impressive power and the convenience of a built-in capacitor filter, but their build quality and installation could be better. If you're an experienced car audio enthusiast who knows how to optimize them for your specific setup, they might be worth considering. However, if you're looking for a more user-friendly option, you might want to explore other tweeters on the market.

The tweeters fit very well in my Jeep JK Wrangler. The wiring instructions could have been a bit more detailed but it all worked out. It made a remarkable difference in how crisp the sound is compared to the stock tweeters. I am pleased with the purchase.

Just want I needed! Was looking to upgrade my entire sound system in my 2012 Jeep Wrangler. These fit perfect in the pods with a little bit of work to get them in on such a tight space, but I love how they look. For the money spent....they sound better than I expected!

Best tweeters that I bought! I wanted a cheap set of tweeters to replace my old blown out ones, and also to pair with my new set of Pioneer speakers. The tweeter came with a variety of mounting hardware for different applications. Luckily these tweeters had a center screw hole on the speaker itself so that I could install it in the factory location of my Toyota 4Runner. It fits like a glove! And also the sound isn't as harsh as the Power Acoustik tweeters I bought a week before this. Just right.

Great speakers so far, the only issue I have is it does not fit in my 2010 Honda Accord Coupe in a way that allows the speaker cover to fit back over it. So if you're looking to keep the "stock" look, I would not suggest these. I don't want to go through the trouble of returning and replacing so I am going to keep them, but just keep it in mind.

Had to buy these after breaking my cheap 1" tweeter. They are great sounding and can fit in the hole I made for the bigger speakers. Overall, it's a great price for a great sound. The speakers come with a crossover, but I already had that setup completed, so I can't comment or review how good those crossovers are.They also come with like 3-4 different mounting rings for whatever application you need for mounting.
