So you know some of my background, I work as an engineer in the Audio recording and Broadcast Television industries for more than 25yrs. and have been an audiophile ever since I can remember. Last summer, I purchased a Boss 6" 2-way component speaker system for my Buick Century front doors. They were extremely affordable at $25 for the set, spec'd out very well on paper, and had more than ample power handling capabilities to match my amp. To be honest, I had never heard of Boss Audio until I bought a Boss CX1800 5 Ch. amp(80WRMSx4 & 200WRMSx1 @ .01%THD sig./noise > 105 dB) for this system, also having great specs on paper. I generally don't buy any audio gear without first listening to them, but I went purely on the specs quoted and price was a big factor. I installed the amp before buying the speakers and I was absolutely blown away at the clarity and punch of the Boss Amp driving the new set of Sony X-Plode 6x9 3-ways(also and excellent sounding spkr.) in the rear and the factory door speakers as well as the 12" 2 Ohm sub in my trunk! Having been so impressed with the amp, I figured why not try their speakers. So I bought the 2-way component system that uses this very tweeter. Again I was amazed at the clarity and soundstage of these tweeters. My son liked them so much, he bought a set to replace his blown Alpines. He only needed the woofers so the tweeters got set aside. He was also pleased and happy that he saved $80 since he didn't have to by another set of Alpines.
So recently I have been rebuilding an old pair of JBL L19's and needed a pair of tweeters. I figured I would pull out the Boss pair and give them a try. Feeding them a pristine 75W audio signal from my Van Alstine modified Dynaco 150 and listening to the movie soundtrack from "Beyond the Sea" with Kevin Spacey(Excellent recording), I was once again blown away at the detail, clarity and texture of the vocals, horns, drums and cymbals. Effortless and very musical. Mind you, these are relatively small 2-way cabinets with 8" woofers crossed-over at 2.5KHz., but the sound was full and plenty loud only peaking at about -7db on my meters! I walked the soundstage to about 180 degrees off-axis and there was hardly any drop in level or detail in the high end. Fantastic dispersion. I couldn't be happier if I had purchased tweeters at 3 times the cost. Can you tell that I am very pleased with my Boss purchases? I think you will be too!

These tweeters were a replacement for a set of vifa tweeters that i had. I needed a replacement for the vifas due to size constraints, the vifas while they sound great were 2 1/2 inches and would not fit in the window sill were the side view mirrors are mounted, but these little BOSS TW-15 tweeeters were perfect and they swivel for better staging and direction of highs. They sound good, maybe not as good as the vifas which cost three times as much, but with a wider range of placement applications due to its size (1 1/2 inches) and it's ability to swivel although minimal one can direct the highs, and the highs are more directional sensetive then say the a midrange or a subwoofer. In general its sound quality is good, mounting options are great and price per performance can't be beat

been happy with it...just need to play with your EQ and placement and you are all good.

They work great sound better then the stock, but docent seem like the bass blockers are working. over all i would buy again, been using them for a few months now

Bought these for my b/f to go with his system for his truck. Very nice product, easy to hook up and install, they work and sounds great, and do the job a tweeter is suppose to do!!

ok i ordered these a couple weeks ago, to throw together with everything i cld possibly buy for my system. i have two twelve inch 1400 watt boss subs on a 1400 watt amp, two 6.5 inch boss three way speakers, two 6x9 inch boss speakers all on a boss 400 watt amp on hpf for highs and all pass through a ssl eq, let me tell u it is loud, but the bass was slill way overpowering, so i got these tweeters to help even out the highs with the bass and they are great, had to play with my eq a bit more but these are crystal clear and can be very loud with no distortion although i cant turn volume to max so i doubt the max watt is as said. but its e tweeter, it dnt have to be. anyway i definately recomend these to ppl on a budget, or at least tru them out, cant go wrong for 12 dollars right? I love them and im going to buy three more sets when i get another amp an two more subs! (its crazy, treble can b heard two blocks with windows down or doors open)

Good little tweeters for the price.
It's hard to beat the improvement these have made to my car stereo for under $15. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the backing that keeps the whole speaker assembly together can be a little unreliable. If you tilted the speaker with too much pressure the back could just pop right off on you. Not such a big deal for the surface mount but if this same thing happened while using the internal mount, you'd end up having to take your car apart to get in and re-attach the back. Other then this one little hiccup, the speakers sound great just wired straight in line with my front speakers. Helped to level out the bass from the back end and aren't too "tinny" like many other cheap tweeter sets.

FINAL THOUGHT: If your on a budget and need a little more high in your ride you can't beat these.

dont recommend these. very poor sound you can barely hear them. they blew the first day. i got the power acoustic nb's the same time i ordered these. power acoustic's sound way better and havent gave me any problems.
