Walking through the shop this past Tuesday morning I noticed a piece of 6 1/4" teflon bar stock on the table. I thought to my self I have a use for that and started rough cutting. When I got home from work I called Crutchfield to get some dimensions for a Rockford Fosgate PP4-T Punch Pro Tweeter, I then placed the order.

Wednesday morning, I finished boring the I.D. I then milled a flat and added four 1/4-20 tapped holes. I also added four 8-32 tapped hols on the front face. The great thing about using teflon it cuts better than butter. I cut a piece of 1/4" aluminum plate and added four 1/4" holes to match the pattern on the teflon and this plate is a support and template . I received the tweeter late Wednesday afternoon and installed the tweeter into the teflon.

Thursday, I removed my old JL Audio sub-woofer. I used double back tape on the aluminum template and stuck it inside of the sub-woofer box where I wanted to install my new tweeter. I transfer punched and drilled the four holes needed from the inside of the sub-woofer box. I installed the new tweeter securing it from inside of the sub-woofer box. I then installed the new JL Audio sub-woofer turned on my stereo and proceeded to daydream about being on the water somewhere enjoying those new highs, "Now That's Music to My Ears"...

How are you powering? What are your thoughts on those style tweeters? Thinking about adding a pair up high in custom fiberglass pods, similar to these pods. Think they'd be too loud compared to 4 coaxials? Image1460837292.547883.jpg

You definitely need to run these tweeters on an amp. with the power range 10 to 50 watts RMS (100 watts peak power). These tweeters are loud, I wouldn't use no more than 2 of these bad boys. I would read some of the reviews and questions that are on Amazon, punch this into the search line (Rockford Fosgate PP4-T Punch Pro 1-1/2" tweeter with 4-ohm voice coil). I hope this helps...
