Is there a HPF (L-Pad) available for the tweeter? Driving the cabs with a bass amp, the tweeter cracks a bit... :(

That box already has a 3.5 kHz crossover to keep the lows out of the tweeter. Maybe it has failed? How much power are you putting to it?

An under-powered amp like that is a poor idea. The reason is distortion creates harmonics and harmonics kill tweeters.If you go with an inadequate amp like the Lepai, be careful not to drive it into distortion or you'll have three pieces of junk instead of one.

i have one installed at 1000W@1ohm and it is incredibly loud without rattling my interior, and hits everywhere. the pressure is too much behind the ears sometimes. Adjusted the LPF filter to be lower and now I get all the vibration w none of the pressure in my head.

I have tried and no, is not a good option. The frecuencies are not the same and won't have a good quality. Sounds empty. I don't know if it damages the amp because i only did it a few times just to try it out and had no damage at all but i guess that if you do it frequently surely will cause damage to the speaker.

I don't think so. The tweeters are for amplified systems and it doesn't work with amps

sorry mine came in a set with tweeters and crossovers but always good idea to have tweeters .if your iffy about it just get 2-way pyle that has tweeters attached to it .

KPC, definitely get an amp. If you're not going to amp these speakers don't get them. With an amp they'll put out boat loads of lows and highs. So much that I disconnected my pillar tweeters. I installed them on a 2013 F150 super crew and they're amazing. I have no regrets installing them. You can always go back and add pillar tweeters, but I don't think you'll need them. Thanks, Jeff.

These tweeters require a 1 13/16" mounting hole, with approximately an inch of space behind the panel. Simply because they are made by Infinity does not mean these can be readily swapped with factory-equipped Infinity systems. In fact, the factory-equipped Infinity speakers were awful in quality... I'm surprised Inifinty licensed its name for some of these OEM systems. At any rate, go by the speaker size of your sub to know what can be substituted, not brand name.

Just my 02 since I have them. Mine are hooked up to a low power amp. 45wpc if I remember right. That sound good but do not produce a lot of bass. I'm thinking without an amp they would produce even less bass. Hopefully someone has tried them without an amp. The good point on these is I'm hearing far more detail in the music than I ever heard from 2 way and 3 way all in one speakers. I would recommend them even without an amp for that reason. I have the tweeters mounted on the plastic cover behind the side mirrors. It's easier when you keep the wiring within the doors.

Don't cheap out and keep the HU if you're putting money into the speakers like that, you'll just ruin the speakers in the long run. As others have noticed, there is too much noise in the PAC units and it's simply not worth it. On top of that, you'll lose your EQ controls in this method since the eq is executed in the infinity amp. Grab a model that does nothing more than keep the factory steering wheel controls and you'll be set.

I used the Pyle PFA200 60-Watt Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier after trying some other amps like the Lepai 2020 (which was not nearly as loud and blew out on the 31st day). I wired this amp in directly to my truck and bridged the Pyle PSP8 speaker (positive of one channel, negative of the other). I only have the amps volume turned half way up or so and it is WAY louder than it was off just my straight CB or off the Lepai. This combo was exactly what I was looking for.

If your tops are powered then use the output of the sub set for HPF. If they are passive - run the HPF out of the sub to the input of the amp

Marc, I don't know the specs of the Wetsounds HT6 you've referred to. I'm powering (4) 6x9 3-way Polk Audio speakers with (1) channel each and a 10" Polk Audio sub with the remaining (2) channels bridged together. So far it kicks hard, (classic rock, blues & jazz)actually way more power than I need in a 22' Scarab. The only thing I don't like so far is the large size & weight of the Pyle. I read mixed reviews about the quality of Pyle amps, but decided to try it since I got it for +/-$160... Happy trails, Mark

I wound't recommend it. I bought this unit and the input wire broke within minutes. Called - tried calling - Behringer. After about 2 hours got to speak with someone in Pittsburgh who said it would be too costly to fix. I send the unit back to Amazon (thanks, Amazon) which I don't like to do. I'd get something else. Go to a Sam Ash or Guitar center and they should have something that works in stock. Or try Crutchfield.
