Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a posted 2 way TM project using the 5 1/4" Aluminum Dayton with the Dayton Silk tweeter? I have a couple I'd like to make for gifts but can't seem to find any posted designs. Thanks in advance for any help or direction.

Thanks for the link. I'm wondering how it will work with a non-shielded shielded version of that tweeter?

I have no experience with this tweeter, but looking at the sample graphs, it appears that you might have to pad down the non-shielded version an additional 1 or 2db. Other than that the xover may work fine. Others on this board may have some real experience with this these tweeters.
