New tweeters or go active? 4 channel or 6 channel?

[mrbadwrench 10+ year member]

So basically I purchased a set of eclipse sc6500 components, crossovers, and the set came with morel xtant 6 ohm tweeters.

The tweeters come off as harsh, and i guess this is because they are 6 ohms and the passive crossover is designed for 4 ohm tweeters that came with the set.

Basically, im wondering if I would be better off just buying a new set of 4ohm tweeters for around ~$100 or If i would be better off taking that same ~$100 to buy a small 2 channel amp for the rear fills and an electronic crossover and use the 4 channel I have now to actively crossover/power the front drivers/morel tweeters.

Hopefully that explanation/question makes sense.

Go active, then pick up a pair of xt25s for 25$ a piece

Umm...active xovers for around $50? That can be a bit hard to find, for a good one anyway
