DS18 GTX1 3" Die Cast Compression Neodymium Super Bullet Tweeter 240 Watts 1" Titanium 4-Ohm (each)

DS18 GTX1 is a 3-inch die-cast compression neodymium super bullet tweeter built for car audio enthusiasts who demand precise, extended highs in compact installations. It combines a titanium diaphragm, a 1" voice coil on a Kapton former, a neodymium magnet, and a rugged aluminum housing to deliver detailed high-frequency performance up to 20 kHz with a 98 dB sensitivity and a 240W peak rating.

• Nominal Diameter: 3" — defines the driver’s basic size and helps determine fitment in tighter spaces.
• Nominal Impedance: 4 Ohms — compatibility with common amplifiers and crossover networks; affects how much current the tweeter draws from an amp.
• AES Power Handling: 60W — continuous (RMS) power the tweeter can handle, important for reliable long-term performance.
• Program Power Handling: 120W — higher power allowance for short-duration musical transients without clipping.
• Peak Power Handling: 240W — maximum instantaneous power the tweeter can tolerate during peak transients.
• Sensitivity: 98 dB (1W/1m) — how efficiently the tweeter converts input power to sound pressure at a fixed distance, influencing required amplifier headroom.
• Frequency Response: 3 kHz – 20 kHz — range over which the tweeter accurately reproduces high-frequency content, from upper mids to ultrasonic treble.
• Recommended Hi Pass Crossover: 3 kHz — suggested crossover point to protect the tweeter while preserving high-frequency clarity.
• Voice Coil Diameter: 1" / 25.4 mm — size of the coil that converts electrical energy to mechanical motion, influencing heat dissipation and dynamics.
• Voice Coil Former Material: Kapton — durable, heat-resistant base for the voice coil under high-frequency operation.
• Diaphragm Material: Titanium — rigid, lightweight diaphragm designed for crisp, detailed high-frequency response.
• Magnet Material: Neodymium — provides strong magnetic flux in a compact form, aiding efficiency and mounting flexibility.
• Body Material: Aluminum — rigid, die-cast housing that supports consistent performance and durability.
• Overall Diameter: 2.95" / 75 mm — physical footprint important for enclosure and mounting planning.
• Overall Depth: 1.96" / 49.9 mm — depth required behind mounting surface, relevant to dash, door, or pillar installations.
• Front Mount Baffle Cutout: 2.26" / 57.3 mm — required cutout diameter for flush mounting.
• Mounting Depth: 1.46" / 37 mm — space needed behind the mounting surface for proper installation.
• Product Weight: 1 lb — compact, lightweight design that complements tight installation layouts.

In car audio builds, GTX1 is designed to mount wherever space allows, providing an articulate high-frequency extension without demanding excessive enclosure real estate. The combination of a neodymium magnet, titanium diaphragm, and aluminum housing delivers precise highs with durable, compact construction suitable for sophisticated component or custom installs.
