Tweeter for Pioneer B20FU20-51FW

jackfish · 2nd March 2009, 03:09 PM

I see many posts calling for the Goldwood GT-1005 piezo tweeter from Parts Express for use with the Pioneer B20FU20-51FW. There have also been some cheap piezos available on eBay. While these tweeters are cheap, they are not of the same quality as the original CTS/Motorola KSN-1005. Many people are under the mistaken assumption that the CTS/Motorola KSN-1005 is no longer available. However, the piezos with the original manufacturing specifications are now being made by PiezoSource and have been available for several years.

cool - I've got >30 CTS so not hurtin' 1142 can be rough - might be its phase plug - got it good on a 5x15 horn with a trap -- what happened to LeSon piezos?

Yikes! That's almost 4x what I paid for the last batch I bought before RS decided to drop them. Fortunately, they don't go bad placed mouth down on the shelf.

I was lucky to find a dozen original Motorola KSN-1005s for $2 a piece on ebay a couple of years ago.
