[QUOTE="bikinpunk, post: 3107933, member: 568114"] The problem with using the h/u to power the tweeters is clipping from the headunit signal. Also, THD is typically a good deal higher on a h/u's amp. Amp gains can be set to where the is nearly no output at a speaker, so yes, you can power a speaker with low power ratings from a high powered amp by adjusting the gain accordingly. Just be careful when you power up the tweeters and make sure you have the x-over set correctly. If you don't, and the x-over is off, or too low, you'll blow the tweeter in an instant. [/QUOTE]
