[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8171737, member: 655960"] You don't need the same number of tweeters as mids in order to accomplish what you're looking to accomplish. Tweeters are much more efficient than midrange/midbass drivers. Also, tweeter placement is critical. If they're not on axis with the listening positions, they won't be loud enough and the solution (to most) is to add more of them... usually off axis again. When that happens, you end up with bright, harsh treble that creates more screeching than music. So start by planning the locations of two pair of tweeters, preferably in the windshield posts and as high as you can get them, with the left tweeter(s) aimed at the passenger and the right at the driver. Then, you'll want to run the tweets in series, as they don't need anywhere near the power mids and below need. If you're running a head unit or processor that can do three way active, then you'll need three RCA cables (bass, mid & high) but if your source is only front, rear & sub, then all of the front stage speakers should be run off the front output. You can run to the 2 channel and then from it to the 4 channel and then use y connectors to hit all four channels on the 4. Also, deaden the hell out of the doors. And then, deaden the hell out of the doors. Lastly, deaden the hell out of the doors. EDIT: Deaden the hell out of the doors. [/QUOTE]
