[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8264246, member: 560148"] Mount them under the dash, level with the floor, as far apart as you can get them. Use straps to secure them.. They need **** all for power and can get louder than any conventional tweeter at the expense of frequency response.. It helps to have a dual 31 band eq to flatten them out.. Still level matching can go a long way in helping the situation. They don't come with a crossover... If you can get a hold of a capacitor, you want something that causes a roll off at 6db/octave starting around 12000-14000hz. Doing so will protect the speaker from bass AND since it's so high in frequency, will actually flatten the frequency response significantly. On a budget that's the best way to wire them up. Something like this would do wonders on a budget.... It'll flatten the response a bunch and basically protect the driver. Only issue you'll have is your midrange likely won't keep up.. It takes big power and high effeciency speakers to keep up with horns.. Also, horns can and will play much lower than a conventional tweeter.
