Posted January 18, 20178 yr Admin Popular Post A few years late, but we are finally getting a very nice tweeter going that is worthy of being a part of the SSA line. The pictures below show the prototypes, they are really attractive in person and will, in production form, bare the SSA logo. See the attached files for the 4 and 8 ohm versions. They are quite smooth to my ear (aka not super bright like some metal dome tweets can be) and blend well with the Evil6.5's (vital to the design). These are not a PA style, 'screamy' tweet, these are meant for sound quality first and foremost. Possible future home audio plans. Pricing is not set just yet. These will be sold as a pair. Some quick points of info: 28mm Silk Dome, Large Roll Surround Aluminum Faceplace and Housing Sound Transparent Grill Low Fs. for flexibility in both Home & Car Neo Motor with Shallow non-Resonant Chamber 61.9mm (2.44") dia. flange, 21.5mm (.85") depth 65 watts rms

January 18, 20178 yr According to the graphs the Fs is 736hz for the 4 ohm and 838hz for the 8 ohm version. So there's a good potential for a great crossover point with these.
January 19, 20178 yr I know I should wait on users feedbacks, but I'm already interested ! I hope the price will be right.
January 19, 20178 yr Im sure the price will be real friendly, ssa is good at pricing things just right

Those are badass for sure I did not set out to have these specific to one way or the other. They needed to be home audio friendly (on axis) and car audio friendly (off-axis). Sure, they lean towards on-axis in through testing, but they can still perform well off-axis.
January 20, 20178 yr Popular Post Gorgeous. If they perform like they look they should take the active audience by storm. With no a priori measurement details and only seeing the plot, I think Aaron's response is conservative. The response curve looks easily adaptable to both almost on and off axis response in car. Obviously nothing will beat a really small diaphragm for off axis response, but the flexibility of such a low Fs will more than counteract that in more than 90% of installs. The last thing I need is another set of tweeters...but pretty sure my curiosity won't be squelched until I own a pair.

February 2, 20178 yr Admin Popular Post Aaron has been working very hard on the development of these new EVIL1's, and one made it's way up to me in NY for photos. We are still undecided on the logo color, hence the two different renderings. What do you guys think?
February 2, 20178 yr dayum sexy! I think the white would be more muted for most installs... red can be too much maybe? 6 minutes ago, Mark LaFountain said:
February 2, 20178 yr Wish I had something to put this set (6.5 & tweet) in for personal enjoyment. I have a birthday coming up .........
