anybody know how to install em?...and if u need an amp?

 

yes and usually

 

:rofl:

that about sums it up


You can run the tweets off ur deck alone, but they arent gonna sound as good as they would if powered by an amp. I learned this the hard way and ended up blowing some Fosgate 1" tweets in my ef sedan before I got my amp:angry: I just couldn't wait. So do it right, get an amp first, then do the install.

 

dont install just tweeters... get a good set of components.

 

what if he's happy w/what he's got and is just looking for a boost on the high end? He also may not have the $$$ for some components.

Installing just tweeters is neither ghetto nor ricey. Sometimes, you just need a boost on the highs, in which case, get some tweets, flush mount em, run em off an amp that is capable of putting out the rms needed to run them and go on about your business.

 

i've got a good set of 3 way pioneer premiers that i really like...and they have some pretty good bass...i just want more high end

 

damn im goodh: :thumbup:

 

actually, if you add too many tweeters, they start to cancel eachother out... so it is pointless. Get some components, or you're wasting your time and $.

 

Sure, adding two or three sets of tweets in the same locations won't be very practical, but for his setup, he'd be perfectly fine. No problems, just make sure you run em off an amp though.

 

Yup, don't just buy a set of tweets and tap it to the speakers. Get a whole new set of components. They are going to cost you about 140. I would go with alpine. That's what i'm using (alpine type R). They give good sound. Make sure you don't use directional housing. You want the sound to go from the passenger door to the driver, and the driver door to the passenger. For high pitch, you don't want direct sound. I have it installed witht he directional housing, it gives out to much highs.
As for an amp. Forget about it, your wasting money on something that doesn't need to be amped. A tweet doesn't use much power to produce sound since they are so small. If you get a amp, power up the the speakers instead, unless you get components where you power both the tweets and the speakers
