[QUOTE="wrocky, post: 8172924, member: 657998"] I am installing a mid and tweeter component speaker/crossover set. I was going to put them in the factory lower door panel and “A” pillar locations. Now I am thinking that I might want to keep the factory tweeter where it is and add the component tweeter aimed more directly at the center of the vehicle. The component tweeter is rated at 4 ohms and the factory tweeter is rated at 5.2 ohms, so wiring the two tweeters in parallel will give a combined resistance of 4.6 ohms. The reasoning behind using two tweeters is to try and widen the sound field direction of the highs, like a horn. Would this setup do harm to the crossover? Would one tweeter chancel out the other? Are other issues or warnings that someone could make me aware of? [/QUOTE]
