Fullrange speaker Visaton FRS 5 X, 8 ohm, 2.07 / 6.68 inch5 cm (2") full-range speaker with black basket and two fixing lugs. Due to its low resonant frequency the frequency response starts already at 120 Hz. Suitable as full-range speaker and medium-range driver in speaker systems for HiFi and background music and for 100 V PA systems. Thanks to the slim construction, also suitable as a control speaker in electronic devices.

I have used this 2-inch fullrange driver in several projects now, usually as a wide-ranger or even a cone tweeter. It has been very capable in any project.
Note: It can do large excursions, but the voice coil "only" has 14mm diameter and therefore is limited in power handling. When using the driver as a wide-ranger = down to the upper bass region it still sounds great, but you need to consider that you may fry it. Therefore you should use appropriate high order filtering and respect the driver's natural limits.
Pros:
- It sounds crystal clear and very dynamic for a driver of its size
- It has a high SPL especially beyond 1kHz
- In contrast to actual cone tweeters it has an open basket and therefore a very low resonance frequency, which makes filtering easy
- It has a very wide useable frequency range, albeit with natural limits
Cons:
- As a cone tweeter it needs a separated chamber because the basket is not closed at the back
- It is difficult to install because of the very narrow basket edge and the large size of the magnet in respect to the baffle cutout
