Would you use this type of inductor in a tweeter crossover:
I usually use air coils or ferrite coils, but am stuck as the suppliers around here are asking for $40 minimum orders so am forced to turn to ebay for small orders
Are there any pros and cons you can think of, are these okay or a poor choice for a tweeter crossover

If the speaker has only 5-10W maximum and the characteristics of filter it is OK (take care of the series resistance that will modify the quality/shape of the filter) why not?!?
But for tweeter filter you can made your own coils.

Those are for RF, not really suitable for speaker level audio, wrong resistance, power handling & available values
Those are 390 ohm resistors depicted, not inductors. An ideal inductor would have zero resistance, a tweeter crossover inductor generally would be well under 1 ohm. Inductors used for speaker crossovers are measured in mH (one thousandth of a Henry), not fractions of watts.
Those are inductors, available up to 4.7mH
Guess# the picture is just generic.
Also guess the "watt" rating refers to physical size.

You should have posted the full page link, not just a picture.
As mentioned above, DCR rules.
Order a pair the value you need and measure resistance.
No more than, say, 0.8 ohm (10% of tweeter impedance) is acceptable.
Not too sure they can meet that goal but Hey!, you only risk 4 pounds + postage.

I would not use them, I think they are using ferrite core and are build for RF frequency ... how will the core perform in audio frequency ?? and also magnetic saturation level .. ??
Thanks, I learned something: Color ring inductors typically have a green backdrop, whereas resistors typically have a brown, blue, or off-white background .
