Budget building with room for upgrades

Any low end tweeter should due until you buy a new set.
I would go with something cheap like this.
Pyle PLST6 1/2" Neodymium Tweeter Pair
They may not sound awesome. But will be better then no tweeter.
I have installed low end tweeters like this. Most times they are loud and harsh.
What I have done in the past is to buy 2 sets and run them at 8 ohms. Or you can build a custom crossover.
You can also point the tweeter away from your ear.
Most times you can make them sound ok
I have never used the tweeters I linked, just for reference.

Thinking I might be better off returning the Lanzars and going with something like the Polk DB6501 components or something else $200ish or less. Return will cost $15 in shipping so I'll get $75 back out of the $90 that I could apply to these. Anyone have thoughts? Amp runs 145w rms, but I can tune that down with a DMM so I don't blow anything I bet (roughly) but I'd like to end up with some better sound here. Really I bet I need a new HU but I'd like to jump in with an android auto unit w/ backup cam so thats $800ish right there retail.
