need your opinion quick!!

What do you guys think of these tweeters???
Can you recommend me a midrange to run with these. I'm running active, so no need for passive crossovers here.
Please, help me out, need to make my decision quick!!!

those tweeters have a crazy high Fs, so I'd go with a "pro-audio" style 6.5 or a standard car 4 inch midrange. I cant see anything else that would prevent a crazy amount of sibilance. I'd make sure the midranges realiably play up to about 5kHz. give or take.

The tweeters that came with the component set from Alpine I got are real nice. I've never had a problem and for a whole set $165 isnt bad

I researched a bit more on the TN-52 tweet, and I'm not sure I'll get them anymore.
The thing is I really want my comp set in my new car to be the best sounding to me. I'm running active, so I don't really care if I get the tweets and mids separate as long as it sounds good, and they match.
I know some brax components someone has, but he is asking wayyy too much for my budget. What do you think, are they worth it, never heard them in my life. For that price though, I could get myself some rainbows.

if its over your budget, then it probably doesnt matter if they are the best speaker in the universe. I'm not sure it would be a good purchase.

what makes you think the TN-52 wont work well for you?

I'm not saying they won't but even though I love fairly bright tweets (have mb quarts right now), i've heard the focals are killers. Plus I'm running them with a ARC Audio 50x2 active, and the damn amp really boosts the highs..

BTW, are you saying the brax comps are the best speaker in the universe or you never heard them. I'm sorry, I didn't quite understood what you meant.
Also, I'm ready to spend up to no more than $700
It HAS to be 2 way though.

im saying ive never heard them. no clue on my side.

because you want a 2 way setup, I would avoid the TN-52. Personally, I think its a load, folks saying the tweets are bright, but they do need a super high crossover point. and youll never get a midrange wide enough to cover a decent amount of midbass and cover up to your tweets.

you have a budget of $700? have you considered horns? you can get the entry level ID horn component set for ar less than $700.

2 way set. not excessive low frequency extension, but it works well. and sounds just bitchin.
the real weakness of the set is that the crossovers cant take a ton of power. and if you are running active, thats no big deal, right? sounds like ti might be perfect for you!
