ok but i'm putting the tweeters by the door in the front what if the wire doesnt reach, can i use regular speaker wire?
You are going to use a crossover with those tweeters, correct?
ok this is my 1st time gettin tweeters, what's a crossover?
certain speakers are made to see certain frequencies and this is what a crossover does. you don't want your tweeter seeing 100hz because it's just not designed to see that. If it does then you can kiss your tweeter goodbye. a crossover will basically tell what speaker sees what frequencies. do a search on passive and active crossovers.
as for your components, did 2 lil boxes come with your mids and your tweeters? because if you bought a component set, it should have come with 2 boxes that are called passive crossovers.

ok thanks, i haven't bought them yet. I keep seeing tweeters that say built built in crossovers too how does that work? is it the same thing that you are talking about? They have alot of tweeters on ebay and i was just thinking about getting a pair
The simplest crossover is just a capacitor in series with the tweeter that keeps the low frequencies out of them. If a tweeter says built-in crossover that's what they have and you don't need anything else. The better quality tweets have more sophisticated crossovers that are enclosed in external boxes.
