Why do you feel the need to add 2 extra tweeters? You already have 4 of them in the truck (one per coaxial speaker).

The only reason you would want separate tweeters would be to take out the front 6x8 and run the tweeters with a dedicated midrange driver.

Get a decent component set and mount that tweeter where you want it.

Lol this is hilarious, on our company forums last week there was a topic started about some new sony tweeters we are carrying. Some sales guy "former installer" went on this whole rant about how tweeters are pointless, yadda yadda yadda. So then these two MECP Masters step in and basically own him in a battle of knowledge...it was hilarious. Sorry for the side track...just made me laugh when I read this.

Well he went on this rant that all these people who add just tweets are dumbasses and im just a great sales man i just upsell them to components blah blah blah. Then one dude mentions what about dash speaerks in like a 2000 grand cherokee? Tweets are perfect to replace the crappy infinity speakers up on the dash.

Then the kid trys to tell us that if you add a 4 ohm speaker to a factory amplified system that runs a 2 ohms, then the amplifier will see 3 ohms and that would blow the factory amp. There was some other stuff that he said too, something like MECP master installers only being "book smart" and not actually being that great of installers
