Description
ARC Audio RS 1.0 Tweeters - Matched Pair
The ARC Audio RS 1.0 is the flagship RS Series tweeter, designed for high-end active systems where top-end detail, smoothness, imaging, and tuning control matter.
At SMS Car Audio, the RS 1.0 is used in premium Stage 3 and Stage 3.3 front-stage builds, especially when paired with RS midrange and midbass drivers in DSP-tuned systems.
Key Features
- 25mm silk-dome tweeter design.
- Fine-woven silk diaphragm for smooth high-frequency response.
- High-strength neodymium motor assembly with secondary bucking magnet.
- Large copper shorting ring to help reduce inductance and distortion.
- Cast aluminum housing with tuned rear acoustic chamber.
- Designed for 2-way or 3-way active systems with DSP tuning.
- Hand-matched pair for left/right balance and imaging consistency.
Install Notes
- Works well in custom A-pillars, sail panels, dash pods, and premium factory tweeter locations.
- Compact design helps with tight OEM-style mounting locations.
- Best used with proper DSP crossover setup, time alignment, level matching, and system tuning.
SMS System Planning Notes
The RS 1.0 should be matched to the vehicle, tweeter location, midrange/midbass selection, DSP amplifier or processor, and tuning goal. Final quotes may include installation labor, fabrication, wiring, DSP tuning, accessories, and vehicle-specific parts.
