Posted January 22, 200916 yr Hi I am getting close to getting all the pieces to start my build and now it is down to the door speakers.It will be in a explorer and ran off a Kicker zx650.4I have decided to get 2 pairs of MLI-65s for the front and rear.Does anyone know some tweats that could match them good?Price is the main concern but am willing to spend an extra dollar if it's worth it.Also would I need a crossover and could someone point me to a few worth the price.Thanks for any input!Car will/has Pioneer avh4000dRoll of raamat2 12" SSDs08 kickerzx.2500.1
January 22, 200916 yr Depending on you budget Kicker does make decent sounding tweeters that come with a crossover. 05KS13
January 22, 200916 yr Author those look pretty good,should I get 2 pairs, 1 pair for the front and a pair for the back?And would I need a 2nd pair of crossovers? or can it all be ran off 1 pair?Thanks again Edited January 22, 200916 yr by TooLoud4You
January 22, 200916 yr A few of us have the SEAS Neo Textile tweets matched with them. I think it's the combo I'm going to be using this summer.

Everybody has different preferances when it comes to doing their front stage.As for the SEAS i am going to check them out. I am looking to replace my polks.
January 22, 200916 yr If you plan on using an active crossover for the front stage, it's going to be easier to integrate the tweeters. You will need some sort of crossover if you choose the Seas. Can't use what came with the Polks
January 22, 200916 yr A few of us have the SEAS Neo Textile tweets matched with them. Which would you recomend. I am currenty looking on bmm-electronics.com

Can't use what came with the Polks I build my own crossovers. The polks are working well, but are about 15 years old.
January 23, 200916 yr any1 recommend any crossovers? or are they pretty much the same thingYou can't use passives with those unless you have some custom built. Time to go active and if you were referring to the difference between actives, personally if you are new to active crossovers I'd highly encourage that you get a headunit that has them built in. MUCH easier to integrate for a n00b.

January 23, 200916 yr Author How would I know if my headunit has an active crossover built in?Thanks everyone for the input
January 23, 200916 yr If you have the headunit number we can look it up. If not how many rca outputs does it have.
January 27, 200916 yr Author If you have the headunit number we can look it up. If not how many rca outputs does it have.pioneer avh4000dI think it has a pair of rcas for the front and a pair for the rear
January 27, 200916 yr I just bought some vifas D26NC55, Ive read good things about them. If for some reason I want to try another set, Im gonna try the seas neos.
January 27, 200916 yr I don't recommend those kicker tweeters. They are too harsh being its a metal dome tweeter IIRC. I have the kicker RS tweeters which have the textile dome much like the seas listed earlier. And they sound phenomenal. just my .02 centsedit: i'll also be replacing my midbasses with the mach5s soon as well. And i think its going to blend really well Edited January 27, 200916 yr by bigtoepfer
