Hi all
I have a paor of jbl 4657a 15"
Can i have the recommwndation tweater to pair with itu? Prefer horn.
I see b&c de500. But the crossover point is 1.6k. Not good right?
Guess horn it not good option?
Regards
Erwin

Greets!
Personally wouldn't use it > ~1200 Hz/2nd order and prefer 500 - 800 Hz, though in theory it could be used as high as 2500 Hz/4th order, so really depends on the desired polar response.

A coax would be good with this woofer so you can cross below 800Hz. Above beams to much as GM says.
A B&C DCX464 coax CD with the ME464 horn could be good, but BMS and others have also coax CD's that can go that low and sound good.
If you want a single band compression driver it gets harder, You have the very expensive Celestion Axi2050, but with eq the much cheaper Faital HF-201 also does go low as long as you don't push it (you won't for hifi). I crossed this HF-201 driver at 800Hz with an LR4 (more or less) filter, and with a bit of eq this works very well. And it fits the JBL 2380 horn (or clones like the cheap but good P-Audo PH2380) very well in my opion. If you don' give (big) parties with it, you can cross this driver even lower.

I would use an Eminence N314T-8 CD with H14EA horn. It could also fit paudio horns as it is bolt on.
I would cross at 1200 hz, 12 db/octave on the tweeter. JBL is not acknowledging they ever made a 4657 so I don't know where the bumpy response begins. N314T can be used to 800 hz so 1000 hz crossover with steeper slope is possible.

JBL crosses their 4367 at 700Hz, so much lower than you suggest, and the tweeter, the D2430K, is also a coaxial compression driver. You can buy the driver, but not the horn needed for it and the throat of the CD is not standard (so not so fit for non-JBL horns). The 4367 is also a 3 way speaker due to that.
