What RT800i's tweeters are made of?

[hamzahsh]

I'm asking because once I touched the grille where the tweeter is and it felt very hard.

I want to know what they are made of alluminum, stainless steel are something else?

Is touching tweeters is safe?

Please let me know.

Thanks for the help.

Touching Tweets are OK... they are very soft and gentle to touched, I'm touching mine right now...

I'm going out on a limb here, 'cause I really don't know... BUT, I would guess that the domes are basically made out of some sort of plastic or polymer-type material that's been coated with aluminum, stainless steel or whatever.

I DO know that they're fairly flexible and resilient. I ordered my RT800i's from Crutchfield. The UPS guys managed to essentially destroy the first set, so I asked Crutchfield to see if there was any way to beef-up the packaging. Well, they decided to open the boxes, wrap the speakers in plastic, put them back in the boxes and then spray that expanding-foam material all around :(

The speakers arrived without any loose parts, but both tweeter domes were caved-in. I called Polk about this, and they told me that the domes would most likely pop back out and be fine. Within a few hours one of them did pop back out without any apparent damage. The other one was in worse shape. It did eventually straighten out, but there was a visible crease in the dome. Polk cheerfully sent out a replacement, which I swapped-in. Since that time (getting close to a year, now) the crease in the dented tweeter has just about disappeared, as well.

I guess that was a lengthy way to say that they're pretty tough. I wouldn't handle them excessively, but I don't think you'll hurt them by brushing up against the grille.
