Best tweeter Solution for AR3a

[genek]

Well, it's 4 ohm and that's about the only thing it's got going for it. The off axis response isn't much different that a conventional spherical dome tweeter and the flange OD is too small to fit the 3a tweeter flange hole.

Oh well. Just stumbled across it looking for something else and wondered about it.

That Cadillac bumper phase plug could also be a source of problems.The price is a bit steep considering you can get a closeout 4 ohm AR dome weeter from Parts Express for about $12 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=279-280. Yes, the PE tweeter also has a smaller flange OD. The the cost savings should be an incentive to fabricate an adapter plate.

Thanks Carl,

I still think that this tweeter(Parts Express) with your adapter ring and the correct crossover coil is the best current solution for most "classic AR" replacements. I think I will buy some more-lol.
