I think the 600W its referring to is when you’ve got it connected to the IEC 268-5 crossover mentioned on the webpage, so if you’re building a cabinet with 2 drivers in it, u can feed the cabinet with up to 600W without burning out the tweeter. The Maplin description is misleading, probably on purpose to make the thing seem more powerful than it actually is.
Yeah you’re right, I’ve bin askin some guys at speakerplans.com and they say it is Eminence APT80 and the specs on Maplin are bollox.
Im pretty pissed off bout this coz i had salvaged some tweeters outta an older speaker but Maplins staff said the ones i had wouldnt be suitable n made me buy their shite. Bastards.

Ive got the cabinet done. Im pretty sure in the spec. of the tweeter (bullet style tweeter) it said 600w rms w/ a crossover, I’d prefer to use the drivers that ive aqquired to save me buying/”aqquiring” more, I am indeed using the 15″ as a bass and the 10″ sits in a sealed box within the cabinet and hits the mids, the crossover being used is a passive (the circuit board ting,) and im using a speakon input. Ive pretty much got everything sorted other than wiring it all together (I know, quite an important part.)
Will check out speaker plans website.
Safe for all the advice.
