a Pair of Aiwa Woofers and Tweeters Removed from a Cheap Aiwa Speaker System....the Woofers are Video Shielded and have Odd Plastic Baskets....they are Awfully Airy,and sound Decent Full Range...the Tweeters are typical Cheap Cones....wonder how they would compare to a Equivilent Dome?
anybody got any Reccomendations for this?

Put them in the loft or garage for some years then throw them away. Alternatively, save time and effort and throw them away right now. You've got no spec for them, they're cheap and they're not worth investing effort in.
Oh, you could give them to some kid to make a home-made boom-box, but be careful not to get taken for a paedo..

no need for the Negativity....they DONT sound Like Crap...and they DONT sound Cheap Either
Based on some Sweeps id Put the Usable Range at 50 Hz-14 Khz
re:'Put them in the loft or garage for some years then throw them away' LOL, been there, done that, but don't be so quick to diss these, I have made a couple of OK sets of speakers from similar drivers - but you do need to test them to see whether to discard or not.... - cone tweeters - typically need to be used higher than domes, say 4KHz up, most have a fairly peaky response & fall off high, but there are some gems out there... (matsushita/panasonic are definitely worth the trouble to test...)
I'd be throwing the tweeters in the bin but keeping the other driver as a cheap mid, mated to a 3/4 or 1/2 inch dome crossed high.
Go 2.5way to a cheap 8inch or bigger, but while definitely probably usable without measurements it will tale a while to tweak to listenable
******* Audax 10mm polymer dome tweeters ******* - eBay, Speakers, Subwoofers, Audio, Electronics. (end time 10-Jan-10 04:33:33 AEDST)
This little tweeter would mount centrally and all it needs is a 1.5/2uF cap in front

Correct....the Woofer Ran Full Range and the Tweeter had a Bass Blocking Cap wired in Series with it.
the same ....highend.. here.. didn´t get the time to measure their TSPs, but hopefully the coming month
disclaimer: pls dont blame me for reverse engineering..
the drivers where in 7L BR as i can remember.
PS: sorry the 830883/27tdfc guys waiting for conclusions about my project.

To quote planet 10 "All crossovers are evil"
most of the cheap speakers I dismantle run the woofer full-range and use a simple 1st order cap on the tweeters, it works better with some drivers than others.
