Product Overview
Bring clear, extended highs to a compact car audio installation with the DS18 GTX1 3-inch compression super bullet tweeter. Its titanium diaphragm, neodymium magnet, and 4-ohm design deliver high-frequency detail in a die-cast aluminum housing.
Key Features & Benefits
- Titanium diaphragm: The rigid, lightweight diaphragm is designed for crisp, detailed high-frequency response.
- Neodymium magnet: Strong magnetic flux in a compact form supports efficiency and flexible mounting.
- Die-cast aluminum body: The rigid housing provides a durable structure for custom installations.
- 98 dB sensitivity: The 1W/1m rating helps you assess the tweeter’s output when planning amplifier headroom.
- Compact footprint: A 2.95-inch overall diameter and 1.96-inch overall depth help with space planning.
- Three power ratings: AES, program, and peak ratings distinguish continuous handling from short-duration and instantaneous power.

Why Choose This Product?
The GTX1 is designed to add articulate high-frequency extension without taking up excessive enclosure space. Its compact neodymium magnet and aluminum housing suit custom car audio builds where mounting room matters.
The separate AES, program, and peak ratings help you compare continuous power handling with higher short-duration ratings. Use the 60W AES rating when considering continuous power, rather than treating the 240W peak figure as a continuous rating.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Plan the mounting location around the 2.26-inch front-mount baffle cutout and 1.46-inch mounting depth. The overall dimensions are 2.95 inches in diameter and 1.96 inches deep.
The recommended high-pass crossover point is 3 kHz. Check the available mounting space and your amplifier or crossover requirements before installation. The GTX1 has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the GTX1’s power ratings mean?
It is rated for 60W AES, 120W program, and 240W peak power handling. These are distinct ratings; the peak figure is not the continuous AES rating.
What crossover point is recommended?
The recommended high-pass crossover point is 3 kHz.
How much room does the tweeter need?
Allow for a 2.26-inch front-mount baffle cutout and 1.46 inches of mounting depth. Its overall diameter is 2.95 inches, and its overall depth is 1.96 inches.
What is the GTX1’s impedance?
The nominal impedance is 4 ohms. Check that your amplifier and crossover setup supports the intended load.
