3.5" Bullet Tweeter for Car Audio

The Orion CTW1.7HP is a 3.5-inch bullet tweeter designed for automotive sound systems that need clear high-frequency output. It handles 75 watts RMS and 300 watts peak power, making it suitable for high-output builds. The 104 dB sensitivity means it plays loudly with modest amplifier power. Enthusiasts seeking detailed treble in a compact format will appreciate this driver.

High Sensitivity Keeps Thermal Load Low

With 104 dB sensitivity the tweeter produces strong output without demanding heavy continuous power, so voice-coil heat stays manageable during extended listening. The 75 watt RMS rating reflects its ability to run clean at typical volume levels without compression. Low thermal stress also helps keep distortion down when the system is pushed. No active cooling is required for normal operation.

Compact Black Housing Mounts Easily

The 3.5-inch diameter fits standard tweeter locations or custom pods without major panel modifications. Black finish blends with most interior trims and resists glare. Terminals accept standard speaker wire for straightforward wiring. Build quality supports consistent performance in the vibration-prone automotive environment. Installers should verify mounting depth before cutting.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 3.5" CTW1.7HP bullet tweeter in a custom panel?

Drill a 3.5" cut-out, seat the tweeter flange flat against the panel, and secure it with the supplied screws; the step most people miss is sealing the mounting ring with butyl rope or foam tape so high-frequency output is not lost through panel leaks.

What maintenance will the CTW1.7HP tweeter need over time?

Periodically check that the mounting screws stay tight and the terminal connections remain clean; the diaphragm itself is not user-serviceable, so if output drops or distortion appears after extended high-power use the tweeter must be replaced.

At what power level does the 75 W RMS CTW1.7HP reach its thermal limit during sustained playback?

Continuous pink-noise or music at or above 75 watts RMS will cause the voice coil to heat faster than it can dissipate, triggering compression and risking permanent damage; keep long-term average power below the 75 W RMS rating.
