i just finished up installing my new seas alum. dome tweeters (forgot modeal number, but they are popular so you know what im talking about).
i know what there power ratings are, but i would like to know what is a decent amount of power i can throw at them crossed at 4k on a 24/db slope, with the level at -2/db (i believe the word is attenuated). they have maybe 30 minutes on them right now, so i guess they are still breaking in.
i had a set of vc100's and was giving them roughly 75w, at 2.5k on a 24/db slope and they are done for. i was playing "shot through the heart" for a buddy, got the 800prs up to 50, and after about 10 seconds, they went out.
im thinking i had them crossed to low, with little break in time, but personally for tweeters i dont see how you can really break them in with what little suspensions they have. but i see everyone else tlaking about break in time so i might now become a believer.
any help is greatly appreciated.
and btw, i love them so far...
