I fear I have blown a tweeter on one of my LSi 9's. I know the LSi's use the Vifa ring radiator, but does anyone know what model tweeter is used?

Thanks,

MIKE

    FYI, Polk's tweeters are not an exact match of what you'd fine elsewhere.

    Welcome Mike, contact CS, they'll take care of ya.

    Have you figured out why you blew a tweeter ? So it doesn't happen again. What other gear are you running ? Maybe take it easier on the volume dial. Limits my friend, everything has 'em.

    Might not even be the tweeter. There's a 5 watt resistor on the crossover that's prone to cooking....you should check that.

    Good point Jess, but I imagine he'll find that out soon enough if he swaps tweeters and the new one doesn't work.
