    Hi I was wondering if you a replacement tweeter for Mirage OM-12 pn 4DR/53081? I only see used ones and I was wondering if you or someone you knew had sourced a compatible replacement. Any response is much appreciated.

      The tweeter and the diaphragm are both obsolete for this tweeter, however we do have an option for you. If you send us your original tweeters we will either find a different diaphragm to repair the original tweeter, or use the faceplate of your original tweeter and mount a similar but different brand tweeter onto it making a drop in replacement tweeter for you. Please contact us if you need any other info.
