[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 7840784, member: 567719"] Well if you use the tweeter from IS200 set it won't need a crossover because it's built in, but the 6.5 would need a low pass filter. This can be accomplished with a simple capacitor soldered to the input terminals (this is what you're 8" woofer has). Notice the cap soldered to the terminals. [IMG]http://www.caraudioclearance.co.uk/images/is-200-3.jpg[/IMG] As far as a value that's kind of up to you. The original crossover crosses that 6" at 300Hz but if you want to use just that 6" and a the IS200 tweeter in the rear you would have a huge gap between the two. I would suggest going up a bit on the crossover value. Here's a link to where you can buy those caps (any cap will not work, they have to be non-polarized) [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/non-polarized-electrolytic-capacitors.cfm"]100V Non-Polarized Crossover Capacitors at Parts Express[/URL] And here's a link to a chart for determining what size cap to buy for the crossover point you want [URL="http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=1"]Car Audio - Speaker Crossover Chart and Capacitance vs. Frequency Calculator(High-pass)[/URL] You want to look at the 4 ohm column, and remember you'll be soldering the cap in parallel with the speaker (even though that diagram shows the cap in series).
