I have a set of homemade speakers I built back in high school 25 years ago. The tweeters have finally bitten the dust. Can someone recommend a good replacement and a good place to buy them?


The tweeters are 1" domes. Printed on them is:


Philips

AD 01605 T8

2422 257 33512

DD 03 216 94

Try to search the parameters of those tweeters on the Web, and then head to someplace like PartsExpress to find something that matches with them.

Do you remember if it's 4 or 8 ohm? How about the crossover? Do you have any info on the crossover like what frequency the tweeter is crossed at?

Does it look like this one? I have a similar pair, but the numbers are different.

no, they look like these:

Looks like they were 8 ohm.


Here's the crossover diagram from the back of the speaker (the crossovers were homemade). 25 years ago I know what this meant.

Any recommendations for a comparable tweeter?

There are plenty of tweeters to choose from, if reworking the x-over and cutout are not an issue. If you are trying to fit new tweeters into the existing flush mount recess, then that may narrow down the choices.

You might want to try a post here. Post the crossover pic there too, someone should be able to point you in the right direction for a replacement tweeter.
