Question regarding tweeters and wiring

Will take a look at Alpine or Kicker thanks Quicksilvers. MaysEffect, door speakers were already replaced with 6.5" Lanzars, talking about the tweeters on top which take 1" only. And

Gotcha, In any case, no matter the brand, i recommend a hard domed tweeter rated between 15-30 watts rms.

Silk dome or paper/fabric domes will not withstand heat as well (sun point directly down on these) nor have better upper mids attenuation. Also they can't survive distortion as well as hard dome tweeters. Given the fact the speaker placement isn't firing directly towards you, the slightly brighter sound of the hard dome design will not be anywhere near as harsh.

Here is a small list -

MB-quart - ZT1-25 (best quality), DT1-25, XT1-20
Pioneer TS-T110 (recommended)
Rockford Fosgate PRIME R1T-S

I checked with the speaker adapter site, and they do still offer these adapters.

Went with the Pioneer, no store had it in stock around here so Amazon order, will install them next week, thanks for the advice.

I went with Focal component speakers so it came with both doors and tweeters. I also did a JL 10w3v3 sub. the focals came with a crossover kit and I had to run new wires for the tweets and doors together. was pretty simple to run with the instructions, I got some thin craft metal from home depot or lowes and dremeled a square and cut a hole through it and layered some cardboard to hold the tweeter in place. a little custom but you can never tell and it sounds perfect.
