More Car Audio Terms: Tweeters


Tweeters are an integral aspect of mobile audio and provide the highs to the car audio subwoofers low. Their name is derived from the high-pitch noises birds make. Alternatively, car audio subwoofers name comes from the low frequency noise a dog makes.

Essentially, a tweeter is a loudspeaker that is designed to produce high frequencies from around 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz (Which is crazy because that’s generally considered to be upper limit of human hearing!)

There are many different types of tweeters, with cone tweeters being the most efficient and economical of the mobile audio bunch. Dome tweeters are also popular, but they are most commonly found in home audio speakers. Hard dome tweeters tend to produce a higher frequency. There is also a super tweeter! Which, obviously the name warrants an exclamation point.  A super tweeter is constructed to playback the highest frequencies starting at around 10 kHz and going well beyond human audibility, some exceeding 25kHz.
A cool thing about tweeters is, that much like human bodies, they contain a diaphragm that produces its sound.
