bhatmaster.

While the D27 (is it the aluminum dome or textile dome) series of tweeters are good tweeters and will perfrm so in a car they were not designed to be used in a car. The face plate needs to be pried of but you must take care not to get any metal dust in the gap. For the D27TG45 I could pry it off carefully using alternately a flat screwdriver and a pair of pliers. I have not tried this on the AG series but have heard the AG35.

as far as the RS150 goes open bafle is not the same as the leaky car door. A leaky car door is more similar to aperiodic but without the control over box losses (QL).

Re: Using Home Audio speaker components in a car

You could use the RS150 in a sealed enclosure however it will lack the low end response off the midbass. Also, the driver has steep roll-off above 2khz. You will probably need a tweeter that could be crossed lower.

The D27TG45 can be used as low as 2500Hz/12db, the D25AG35 needs a higher crossover point.

I would also suggest Vifa XT25SC90, a ring radiator tweeter that can be crossed at 12db 2khz and has pretty flat response upto 20khz when playing on axis.
