Audio Code AXC TCY25N 3" Neodymium Bullet Tweeter
Description
Description
The Audio Code AXC TCY25N 3" Neodymium Bullet Tweeter is a high-efficiency, neodymium-powered bullet tweeter engineered for crisp, detailed high-frequency reproduction in active multi-way systems, competition SPL builds, and custom car audio installations. Sold individually. The TCY25N's 3" bullet design and neodymium motor structure deliver the soaring highs and fine detail that complete a high-output active system — with controlled dispersion from the bullet phase plug for focused, on-axis high-frequency performance.
The AXC TCY25N combines two premium design features. The neodymium magnet motor produces a significantly stronger magnetic field than conventional ferrite magnets at a fraction of the weight — delivering improved sensitivity, output efficiency, and a more compact overall package. The bullet phase plug design controls the dispersion pattern of the high-frequency output, reducing off-axis coloration and improving on-axis clarity and focus — a design feature common in competition SPL and high-output car audio builds where precise high-frequency reproduction is critical. The 3" driver size is larger than conventional dome tweeters, providing more radiating surface area for extended high-frequency output and presence. The 8-ohm nominal impedance is compatible with most amplifier channels — note that 8-ohm tweeters draw less current than 4-ohm designs, which can be advantageous in multi-driver passive crossover networks. Sold individually — order two for a stereo pair.
Use the TCY25N as the high-frequency driver in an active 2-way or 3-way system: always apply a high-pass crossover at 4–6kHz to protect the tweeter from midrange frequencies. Pair with a dedicated midrange driver (such as the Audio Code AXC NEO 6, ZRO 6, or ZR05) and a subwoofer for a complete active system. Drive with a dedicated amplifier channel or a DSP amplifier with active crossover capability. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for system design guidance.
Why Choose the Audio Code AXC TCY25N?
- Neodymium Magnet Motor: Rare-earth magnet technology produces a stronger magnetic field at less weight than conventional ferrite magnets — improved sensitivity, output efficiency, and compact package size.
- Bullet Phase Plug Design: Controls high-frequency dispersion for improved on-axis clarity and focus — a competition SPL and high-output build design feature shared with the Audio Code midrange lineup.
- 3" Driver Size: Larger radiating surface area than conventional dome tweeters — extended high-frequency output and presence in the upper frequency band.
- 8-Ohm Impedance: Draws less current than 4-ohm designs — advantageous in multi-driver passive crossover networks and compatible with most amplifier channels.
- High-Efficiency Output: Neodymium motor delivers robust, high-efficiency high-frequency performance without adding weight to your install.
- Audio Xtreme Code Build Quality: Engineered for competition and enthusiast applications demanding maximum high-frequency clarity and controlled dispersion.
- Sold Individually: Order two for a complete stereo tweeter pair.
System Integration Recommendations
The AXC TCY25N is a dedicated tweeter — always use a high-pass crossover at 4–6kHz to protect the driver from midrange frequencies. Running a tweeter without a crossover can damage or destroy the driver. In a 3-way active system, pair with a dedicated midrange driver (such as the Audio Code AXC NEO 6, ZRO 6, or ZR05) and a subwoofer for full-range coverage. Drive with a dedicated amplifier channel or a DSP amplifier with active crossover capability (such as the JBL DSP4086). Note the 8-ohm impedance when configuring passive crossover networks. Sold individually — order two for a stereo pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the AXC TCY25N sold as a pair or individually?
A: The AXC TCY25N is sold individually — one tweeter per order. Order two for a stereo pair.
Q: How does the TCY25N differ from the Audio Code AC-25x tweeter?
A: The TCY25N is a 3" neodymium bullet tweeter at 8 ohms with a bullet phase plug for controlled dispersion — larger driver, neodymium motor, and bullet design for competition and high-output builds. The AC-25x is a 2.5" tweeter at 4 ohms — more compact and compatible with a wider range of amplifier configurations. Choose the TCY25N for maximum high-frequency presence and controlled dispersion; choose the AC-25x for a more compact, 4-ohm compatible tweeter.
Q: Do I need a crossover for the AXC TCY25N?
A: Yes — always use a high-pass crossover at 4–6kHz to protect the driver from midrange frequencies. Running a tweeter without a crossover can damage or destroy the driver. A DSP amplifier with active crossover capability is the ideal solution.
Q: What is the significance of the 8-ohm impedance?
A: The 8-ohm impedance draws less current than a 4-ohm tweeter, which can be advantageous in multi-driver passive crossover networks where impedance matching affects crossover point accuracy. Most amplifier channels are compatible with 8-ohm loads. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio if you have questions about impedance compatibility with your specific amplifier.
