Yes radio power will be fine on them...but they would sound a lot better with about 50wpc going to them

the reason i ask is because after i soldered the wires and hooked them up i barely get and sound out of the tweeters. they are a 3-way sound. i get cracking sounds out of the tweeters and the right side i hardly get anything including the bass.

Does your dodge have the factory infinity system? Honestly your going to need more power going to them to really get much out of them, Dodge puts in REALLY low wattage speakers from factory do that their near no output factory HU can make them sound decent.

sounds like you have them hooked up incorrectly. you shouldn't have crackling from tweeters. also even with the low watts from the stock head unit they should provide reasonable amount of sound as it looks like those are rated at 92db efficiency.
