Motorcycle Tweeters

Our motorcycle tweeters are for riders adding a dedicated high-frequency section to a compatible audio system. Bullet tweeters and compression-driver designs can help vocals and detail carry through road and engine noise. Match the tweeter to your speakers, amplifier, available mounting space and riding conditions.

Bullet Tweeters and Compression Drivers for Motorcycles

Bullet models use a compact, projecting shape, while hybrid compression drivers combine a tweeter with a horn-style design. The DS18 GTX2 3-inch super bullet tweeter is rated at 60W AES and 4 ohms. The DS18 NVY 2.5-inch bullet tweeter is rated at 100W RMS and 4 ohms. For a hybrid design, the DS18 NVY 2-inch compression hybrid driver is also rated at 100W RMS and 4 ohms. These differences affect mounting and system planning, so compare the physical size and power rating with your setup.

Fitment, Crossover and Motorcycle Exposure

• Mounting: Measure the opening diameter and available rear clearance, including room for wiring.
• Impedance: Match the tweeter's ohm rating to the amplifier's supported load and speaker wiring.
• Power: Compare RMS ratings with amplifier output, and avoid treating peak power as a continuous rating.
• Crossover: Use the maker's recommended crossover point and slope to keep low frequencies away from the tweeter.
• Exposure: Motorcycle installations face weather, vibration and direct spray. Confirm the driver's environmental suitability and protect connections.

A tweeter needs a high-pass filter, either from a crossover, amplifier or DSP. Without one, low-frequency energy can damage the driver. Set levels carefully, too. Tweeters can become harsh when pushed too loudly beside midrange speakers. For a pair, confirm whether the package includes one driver or two, then plan the wiring load for the actual number installed.

Build a Balanced Motorcycle Audio System

Start with a tweeter that fits the mounting location and works with your amplifier's impedance and power. Then tune crossover frequency and output level against the motorcycle's midrange speakers. Pair the install with our motorcycle speakers, motorcycle amplifiers and crossovers to plan a complete, properly filtered system.
