Replacement Tweeter Suggestions

Hi All,

I have a really nice set of MB Quart speakers from back when they were a decent company. While getting the door panels back on i manage to dent one of the tweeter domes thanks to those spear like panel clips.

Anyway below are the specs on the speakers. From what i can gather i need a tweeter that can operate from 2.5k to 32k with a peak power handling of up to 130w. Any suggestions - preferably on the cheap?

I am not so much worried about size since i can always remake the templates. Thanks!

These would probably work. They're not an exact match, but the E series is high end and should sound great.

Thanks for the link, never heard of CDT but they look pretty legit. I was a bit worried about running two different tweeters since that listing is only for one tweeter. I managed to get an insane deal on some new Focal TN 47s so i went with those.

That listing was for 1 PAIR.

Oh your right I misread. Most of the listing makes it sound like a single tweeter.

Have you tried to fix the dent? You can usually use a little bit of masking tape to pull it out.

I'm with Kale. It shouldn't be too hard to pull it out.

Its an aluminum dome. I tried a few things to get the dent out but it is pretty severe. The dome is a bit stiffer then i would have thought so it wont come out.
