EDIT: I can't read, you answered most of my questions 
I like Seas. Although, do you have enough experience to go active? It is a pretty big undertaking.

Yeah maybe narrow it in a bit for at least this thread..
Twistid, yes, that's the tweeter.
My application.. budget in post 1, mids in door, tweets in a-pillar stock location, replacing the "subaru upgrade" tweets (what a laugh).. No real room to do kicks, so I do know that will limit me a bit with being way off axis by door mounts.. but I do have some decent space to be more directional with the tweets inside the housing.. Though I may open it up a bit and use some felt for absorption (edge defraction elimination) in the housing around the tweet... Or maybe just mount ontop of the plate grill... So I guess the mids would need to be pretty doggone good off-axis. Typical triangular housing inside the rear-view mirror post.. may be a sin for SQ, but it was my current thought for placement.
The type of tweet I was considering was just a standard car-type mount, or something small enough to mount inside that housing or could easily be modded to fit there... Don't want to cut into doors or dash. I see a lot of the home speaker styles have flanges with screw mounts which could be a problem in a car setup.
Indifferent to silk-dome or aluminum as long as it's a great clean tweet.
Mids the same... indifferent to materials as long as they're fabulous drivers that I can make fit in the 6.5" stock location.. I may have a little ability to do a baffle and mount a little larger, pending depth.. I haven't gotten in there yet, so open for different drivers that once I get in there I can rule out later based on depth restrictions in the door panel.
Type of brands I've looked at.. Seas, Peerless, Scanspeak, Usher, Dayton, Vifa, Tang Band, etc... Any that can be bought in raw single drivers.. typically from DIY folks like madisound or partsexpress or also if you recommend any other online vendors as well that's very helpful.
Also, I'm trying to learn about how to properly read spec's though I do understand on and off-axis freq plots typically posted and resonant freq's, etc.. a little //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif just enough to be dangerous.

Well, if it's any help, the Seas Neo tweeter is a rock solid choice and you won't go wrong picking up a pair no matter what mid you use them with.

Yeah it sounds like it's a serious bang for the buck. A match up with that peerless 7" might be the ticket if it will fit in the doors.

those tweets are very very good,some of the smoothest sounding metal dome tweeters I have ever heard and i owned Boston Acoustics pro tweets,cdt-tw-24 tweets, and a few others, hands down seas neos rule. get them if you don`t like them you can always sell them over own http://www.diymobileaudio.com

they are a good combo,but that combo is better suited in a 3-way becuase of the lack of low-end on the RS-180s.
