[QUOTE="hatedonmostly, post: 6869643, member: 611322"] I'd love to go active, but I don't have a HU that is capable, FWIW. I don't see why just using a four channel amp and crossing it properly wouldn't be fine though to do so though. Getting a new amp is certainly in the near future, and that does make sense. I guess that will be the first thing I do, before I decide to do anything else. My impression was that if I was getting voltage drop and whatnot I would only be losing output; I didn't consider that instead I am getting the same output, just moderately clipped. I'm sure those bullet tweeters are loud, but not sure if that's the sound I'm looking for. I'll take your word when you say they sound like a train horn lol. As for the 3.5" speakers, I was planning on running two in the pillars with no tweeters. Something tells me that that is a bad idea, since those fullrange speakers would be playing the same frequencies as the mids in my doors, but I've seen it done before, so I had to ask. Then again, my other idea of running two tweeters in the pillars would be the highs overpowering the midrange frequencies. [/QUOTE]
