not the 05. and what the hell does a stock sub have to do with how many watts the tweeter has?


IRTOP
you can calcluate that each speaker does 40 watts max, which equates to about 13-15 watts rms.

What are you trying to do? If you are just replacing your head unit, you are fine. If you are doing that and using an amp, you may have an issue.

and youll know if u blow em. most of your "sound" lyrics and whatnot are coming from those then ur bass and stuff is coming from your component's and tweeters are hard to insall in the tc if im not mistaken.

It isn't that hard. There is already a location for them which means you are not cutting up your car to mount them. Someone did a write up on them here somewhere. They bought new tweeters, took the mounts off the OEM ones and attached them to the new tweeters. Other people just hot glued the new tweeters in the door where the OEM ones were.

That or you could mount them in the kick panel because tweeters from components are often pretty harsh in the stock tweeter location.

1. Why do you ask?
2. What did you really mean to ask? (your question as stated makes no sense)
3. They have as many watts as you feed them, without amplification they have no watts.
4. Do you want to know how many watts they'll handle?
5. What is the attenuation rate of the high-pass filter you'll be using (stock cap. only?)
6. At what frequency does the filter take effect? (-3dB at ?Hz)
7. What is the content of the signal being fed to them? (tones & their duration)

All the above matters, regardless of specifications. There are tweeters rated at 10w RMS / 20w Max that can easily handle 100w peaks for short periods when filtered fairly high with a steep slope.

The tC's stock tweeters could be destroyed with as little as 2 watts, or survive many years with 100 watts, depending on how they're used.
