Zapco ESB Mids

1229 Views 15 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  zwc0442
Bought these off classified and are hoping to install them this weekend.

Specs sheet off website http://zapco.com/prod/Speakers/Comp/2_CK-16.2_Comp_Frame.htm

shows drop off around 2.2K, so I'm wondering if anyone else is running these active and what they were bandpassing them at.

I'm currently using the Blau VC tweets and do not like them. I'd prefer something more laid back, but am hesitant to look for another tweeter until I've at least put these in.

Any thoughts?

i plan on running these active as well...so id be interested in seeing the cross points of users
Are those based off of Scan 8545's? They look suspiciously like the midbasses in my home speakers.
Hey. Im thinking you guys bought these from me. I had them for the last few years and love them.

Old car they played 62-2.5k @ 24db both sides

currently they play 80-2k @ 12db slopes and it seems to be about the sweet spot.

With both cars, my tweets were crossed over at 2.5k @ 12db. I use the matching zapco tweets.

Theyre not scanspeak, theyre made by esb of italy and just use a similar unpressed papercone on top of a woven cone. I like them lots

If you know italian

Nope it was me, look at the itrader feedback.

Its funny how things move around here.
I got my original full comp set set from atsaubrey, then I got a set from trunks, then I got a brand new set and sold both of my previous sets.

Theyre being passed around like crazy. Someone else try them and do a review.


Edit: To spell atsaubrey correct
I ran them and 2.5 at 18db was was my xover point. Loved them. If you can find the tweets, then youll be in heaven.

I agree I have a single comp tweet and a single reference blue tweet.

Woofers ect sells single zapco ck tweets. Costly though but worth it. I love those tweets.

Or contact robert at zapco directly

Hmm never knew that. .. I will look into it now thx.
I'd love a set of the tweets, but they're pricey on woofersetc, which isn't even authorized. unfortunately all the other laid back tweets I'd love to try need to be on-axis and crossed a bit higher.

I suppose I'll throw them in and tune as I go... thanks guys

I'm next!!!

I need me a set of these for my new ride.

Maybe I'll get the ones that are being passed around like the forum slutbags.:D

And yes...Italian does it best.;)
I bought a set a while back and finally got my 3sixty.2 installed and have been messing around with them for a couple of weeks and have them at 70-2250 12db. Seem to do pretty well right there. I just bought a set of l3's to go with my L1v2's so I'll be using the zapcos as a midbass only in a few weeks.
