[QUOTE="hatedonmostly, post: 6869544, member: 611322"] Right now I have my CDT COM-626 component set on an underrated 45x2 old school Sony amp. Although the set is being underpowered (75W RMS) the tweeters are cutting out after extended periods of time at high volume. Even then, they aren't doing a good enough job keeping up with the bass. I figured I'd just replace the tweeters and go the pro audio route since it's cheaper, and PA has always interested me. Since most PA speakers are 8 ohm, I figured I could get two 50W 8 ohm tweeters wired to 4 ohm (with an amp that does 100+x2) and reglass my pillars and run two tweets in each pillar. By all means, I love loud, crisp highs but I don't want the tweeters to be overpowering the midbass and sound bad. So would it better if I got two 3-3.5" full range drivers instead? Or are those both bad ideas, and I should only run one (100W 4 ohm) tweeter on each side? [/QUOTE]
