Replace a Tweeter

Everything makes a difference. Measure the cutout. Search paper cone tweeter. Measure the ohms, or guess it's 8 ohms. If it's too loud, add series resistance. Without adding other factors, that's the approach.

You could, but I would say not.

No.

You could do that, if you want it to sound as bad as those old tweeters always did. Or you could find a way to fit a modern Kevlar dome tweeter that will give you 10x the output and frequency range.

All speakers have terribly complex impedance graphs because of mechanical resonances. The "nominal" impedance is just that. It's unlikely your crossover does anything special except match the nominal impedance.

All speakers will vary in their efficiency, especially if you change to one that uses modern magnets. You might need to fit a resistor pad (two resisters in an L) to reduce power. Additionally, a modern speaker will have a wider frequency response, which should be irrelevant if the cross-over doesn't feed any power outside the old tweeter's range.

It is possible that they don't have "real" crossovers, just caps to the mid and tweeter. They did that for alot of years.

If they are what I think the are, you can get better tweeters from MCM. you are not talking Infinitys here or any high end speakers. Fisher was never like that.

The tweeters that would match the best will probably cost about $6 each, if you get them from the right place. These days, MCM has some really good pr ices on woofers. Used to be woofers were expensive and tweeters were cheap. Not no more. Apparently since it is all made in China now, and the demand for woofers has changd or whatever. The market has changed. Sixty buck a pi ece woofers from twenty years ago, the equivalent is about twelve bucks now . But not for tweeters.

This is probably it :

Four bucks. If it isn't, just go to the main website and check them all out . Thing is here, you are not dealong with audiophile speakers, you have lee way. You can easily upgrade them from original.
