Re: HPM-100 tweeters

Suprisingly those speakers sound very very good and I was shocked.They are supposed to be a refined remake of the jbl 100 speakers I think but they have a ribbon tweeter and I would just get some good used tweeters on ebay that are original type..You dont want to mod the crossover but you want to use better caps such as take out any electrolytics or non polars and put in polys of the same value..You can bypass with .1 pios if you want and that refines the mids and highs a bit.Also pack a little more insulation into the lower cavity of the cabinet and that improves dampening.Good luck and even if you have to spend a 100 or 150 or so,do it because they are a nice speaker.
