Damn. I remember buying a set of these years ago to replace something else I blew up (they were the only thing that could handle the kind of power I was running). They were very nice and held up to some serious abuse. I'd put them in my brother's car along with some old JBL subs, A/D/S 6.5's, Audiocontrol Xover + my gen 1 Orion HCCA's....then the dumbass got his car impounded and it got looted in the impound yard. Now that I think about it...I lost a ****load of good gear....and now that I think about it I had left a few snap-on tools in there too...... this thread is depressing.

Sure... in NO order...

a/d/s is/AL series tweeter
Kicker R25/R19 (KING.. I told you mang!)
Alpine old SPX/Scan SP. 6000 (which I have in 2 cars now incl my daily driver)
MTX/Peerless larger format (circa 1998-2000)
Boston Neo-Gen

YES I understand before everyone starts bashing I am all over the place.... never said I made sense... just my fav 5 tweeters I have run... 1,000's of others for more & less money I have yet to hear... but from an "available" point of view... they are out there...

I like the Phoenix Sapphire unit, the old school OzAudio 1", Dynaudio... almost anything... Morel has a nice tone...

I've always been a higher-end Softdome listener, especially in car. a.d.s, boston, Dyn, Morel, Peerless, etc... Kicker is just a diamond in the ruff... an overlooked jewel in the mobile audio world, from a tweeter point of view...

I had to fight not to snipe (2) sets of R19's on ebay today for under $30 set... since I just don't "need" them... lol

I had a pair of those years ago...loved them. I think I still have the HP filters, too...never used them. I think I paid $120 on the internet back then, so $70 prolly ain't bad.

The R25 tweeters are 1" silk Domed bad boys.
The R19 tweeters are 3/4" silk Domed bad boys.

Kicker resolution series tweeters : R13, R19, R22, and R25. of this Bunch only the R25 and R19 are silk domed.

The silks cost more to build and they sound much smoother and have a better quality of sound than the other resolutions.

ND25 - R25a - ND25a - RND25 - and Rnd25a are all really just R25's - they were branded differently over a few years and for various sets. they are all 1" silk domed Kicker resolutions.
-----------
The R22 is a 1" tweeter as well but it is not silk - sounds a little metalic to me really and i prefer the r25. But I have it like that. :O) I am the KICKER man.
---------
I noticed some one offering the r19 set for 70.00 bones - that's a nice set and if it were new that's a great buy.
I sell the R25's for 105.00 - I have two sets on eBay at this time but they are not all buy themselves - they each have a kx250.2 amp that goes with them. also I don't have any sets retail packed. i have them brand new deal bulk packed and I have the TWX454 passives that are included for lack of any other crossover.

at any rate - im just looking around here. LOL brand new to the site today.
I am going to go see what all you guys do on here. :D
i have the manuals for all this stuff if anyone needs PDF files and can't find them anywhere else. just gimme a yell and I will send.
