Well, you're gonna need the proper xover. What's your budget, personally I'd send the xxx mids off to madisound, and have them design and make a xover paired with a tweeter for ya! Then you'll have the perfect comp set for what you have! Then, from there...look at some nice 2channel amps and a sub amp for the 18xxx. Also, look at your electrical, big 3 upgrade, replace your stock battery, possibly alternator if it's feasible! peace

Hmm...gonna be tight...

how about $300 for the xvoer and tweets...

Check out http://www.madisound.com And call them . Ask about sending one of your drivers in, and they can design a custom crossover for you and pair it with a great tweeter! I will be an AMAZING sounding component set! Then look for a 2channel amp that is about 150-175 rms x2. And call it a day! WOOT

Check out the website, talk to RE AND Madisound to what type of tweet they owuld recommend...giving them specs of the XXX6.5, and it'll be killer for real!

Unless you can get some 2ohm tweets the custom xover setup won't work.

I would use an Active xover, that way you don't have to worry about the 2ohm XXX6.5" midbass. Then get a 4 channel amp that will run 2 channels @ 4ohm (for the tweets) and 2 channels @ 2ohm (for the XXX6.5").

Um.....it would work fine.

I too would go with an active xover setup. Passive xovers are designed to optimize the performance of the speakers, but actives allow you to optimize the performance of the speakers in the install. The xover points used in the passive may not be (and 99% of the time are not) the best xover points once the speakers are installed in your car.

Max Fidelity Neo30, LPG 25nfa and 26na, Seas and Peerless all have great small diameter tweeters. Any of those will run you (at most) $100-$125. Get a good active xover and a 4-channel amp, and you're set.
