hey everyone, love the site, i mostly lurk around and there's some really good info on here. well anyway on to my question, im looking to buy some tweeters to replace my old mb quart tweeters. would like them to blend in with my sound stage now and keep up when i upgrade it too, currently im running a 6" whip audio mid on each door and 2 for rear fill, itll soon be 2 on each door and 2 8"s and the 2 6"s for rear fill when im done with the pods.im not looking to spend more than 50-60 dollars, but if i have too i will lol. i mostly listen to reaggeton, rap and hip hop and sometimes some r&b. i would love to place them where i had my old tweeters, heres a pic....

thanks for the help! and happy holidays

Why do you want 2 pairs of components per door ? Especially 2 tweeters per door....

I would try diffrent aiming before changing it. Listen to what you have now in diffrent positions.

i dont want two pairs of tweeters, i just want one pair, im replacing the mb quart tweeters that are there now because one of them doesnt work, the 6" i have are just the mids no tweeters

heres a pic

Ok, got it. I understood you were going to run 2 tweeters per door.

Are you using passive crossovers ? Or have a head unit (or amp) with built in active crossovers ?

looking to run them passive, powered by a kicker kx150.2... mids will be ran off another amp, not sure which one yet, was looking at an mtx ta7402...

Check out the new Alpine tweeters from the new pro line. My buddy installed them and they sound great for the price. You can find them in your price range!

What is your budget for the amp ? If you want to run them passive, what crossovers do you plan on using ?

I know some manufacturers sell tweeters with passive crossovers, it's not the best solution for an install though But in your case, if you already have 2 channels of amplification (the 2 channel Kicker), buying something with pre-made crossovers is going to be the simplest solution...

budget for the amp is around 200-250, the kicker will be for the highs, i already have that one. i've been looking at some tweeters that already come with xovers... but im not too sure on which ones, ill post some links up later. anyway happy holidays!

One more thing you can do, if that is your budget...

Look for a Sundown 100.4 (not 100% sure it will fit your budget since I haven't checked the prices). Would be awesome to get that for the fronts, run your front midbass and tweeter active and use the rear mid on the Kicker.

I hope I read correctly that you only want tweeters in the front (which should be the only place for tweeters in my opinion).

As far as I have tried passive, DLS makes some nice tweeters. Post some link to what tweeters you have been looking at.

wooohaaa i missed this lol anyway, ive thought about running a 3 way active set up and ditching the rear fill all together, only thing about that is im not sure if the 100.4 would be enough to power my mids because it will be seeing 8 ohms per chan. anyway i think im going to get these tweeters: http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1466

You should be fine with the 8 ohm drivers. Take some time and read this is you want to find out why :

With the 100.4 you can do 2-way active for the fronts and the subwoofer will be crossed over with the sub amp.

Nice choice on tweeters.

great read, i read it awhile back when i first came across this site, now ur telling me i can do a 2 way active with the 100.4 so it would be 6" mids and tweets, so i would have to ditch all the other speakers? i would really like to do a 3 way as i already have all those speakers laying around

and thanks i hope they sound good lol, ill be ordering them this week
