If one of my friends did that I'd slap him.

does that make it smart? I've seen videos of guys setting themselves on fire then gettin hurt. Doesn't mean that everyone else should go do that too.

No need to be a smart ***. I was just curious so I thought I'd ask.

You can, but it will not sound that great. Although sound quality is subjective, it's not something a SQ enthusiast would do. If you want LOUD, which is generally why somebody would want to run two sets of tweeters, then start looking at some professional audio bullet tweeters.

For example.

Sensitivity is ridiculous on those tweeters. They're meant to be coupled with multiple high sensitivity mids in professional audio cabinets, like guitar, and PA systems. VERY LOUD. Good luck on finding mids to keep up though.

Thanks for the tip. All I can say is PYLE....

Don't confuse Pyle pro audio with Pyle car audio. While it's still not top notch, it's respectable. Pyle speakers are what you used to, and maybe still do, find in Fender amps.

Exactly. Since I started setting up and running concerts for a job I've learned a lot about pro audio, and one thing is that some brands are completely respectable which I have previously avoided or never heard of.

You are going to have all sorts of the uneducated asking if it is okay to run those tweets now. They may be loud, but Lord knows I wouldn't want them anywhere near my car.
