These 20mm ceramic disc tweeters are barely heard...
I mean they sound as whisper and overshadowed by the woofer and squawker, makes you think why even bother connecting them...
I had them isolated and fed direct signal, they do work and I can hear them only at higher volumes of 7/10 and very close to my ear, only at these levels they add something to the overall sound...![Hmmm :hmmm: :hmmm:](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/boomboxery/hmmm.gif)
I also should mention they shine more when enclosed in their plastic case (mechanical amplification helps oscillation alot) but still somewhat quiet to my taste.

Are these suppose to sound that low or are simply faulty/tired tweeters?
Would like to hear other 9696 owners' opinions on how they sound.
In case they are faulty, which Piezo speaker/buzzer spec should one look for? (SPL, voltage, frequency etc.)
What is accepted as decent replacement for this bbx (amp HA1392, 15V, 7Wpc)
