| In search of a new focal tweeter

Ouch..thats nasty!
Is there any reason why you absolutely must stick with Focal. If you do like the sound then thats fine but there are lots of other tweeters out there that will do the trick (or are better in my opinion.).

I don't mind other kinds of tweeter as long as it sounds the same or better, I havnt tried these tweeters yet but the polyglass v1 I has before had a pretty high pitch that I didn't like. These tweeters r from the polyglass v2 so they should be better.
Any suggestions? Posted via RS Mobile |

If you really want the Focal tweeters we can certainnly help. I would take Orgasm donor's advise and give some others a listen. You are welcome to come down and check out what we have on display and/or check out some of our cars.

when my TN47 was damaged I got a new one from Cartunes.
matched my crossover and midrange, almost as if they were made for eachother.... because they were.

Have you heard the DD German component tweeters? They sound pretty awesomesauce in my buddies car. Other than those, I have had some good experience with Polk Audio MM tweeters in my own car. |

for your tweeter, most likely bad glue on the dome or the magnet inside might be glued off center. from the pic, it looks like simple repair... if you can find the dome part and glue.
