Adding tweeters to front channel

[chawski 10+ year member]

I have a question regarding adding tweeters to my front speakers. I currently have alpine type s speakers upront. I want to add some tweeters to the front to try to get some more hi's. Is it doable to just add a xover and the tweeters and run the 6.5s and the tweeters like that? Also, is it possible to just use bass reducers going to the tweeters to get around wiring a crossover? This is just a daily driver, only running about 45watt/channel to the 6.5s

Thanks!

Are your type s speakers coaxials or seperates? If they're coaxials, and you plan to add tweeters, why not ditch them altogether and upgrade to a decent pair of components?

tweeters are cheaper than a whole new component and i figure if I already have a fairly decent 6.5, theres no need to fix whats not broken.

Well you need to pick up a set of crossovers and tweeters.

Get something like these

Satnet 400 - CDT Audio 2 Way Crossovers

TW-25SOB - CDT Audio 1" Silk Dome Tweeters (Open Box)

But in all honestly, it would be a lot easier in the end to just buy a good pair of comps. You can pick up a pretty good pair for 150-200 bucks.

Save you money and do it right the first time.
