i want to add these to my home stereo speakers(8 ohm) do i just hook them from the terminals to the tweeters do they have the crossever so the ohms load does not get too low??

Yes- & the impedance will be fine, these are Awesome super tweeters & will extend your frequency response amazingly! they can sound a bit harsh, which I enjoy, But if you think they are a bit too loud you could add volume controls to them or add a different capacitor on the plus side of the input terminals (BI polar 2.2uf or so) - or just adjust the tone control of your amp/receiver! Well worth the price! great tweeters!

Truly value for money. Clear, crispy, clean, loud, and notes you never heard before. No regrets. Hope it helps.

Yes, the internal passive crossovers are set near 2,500 Hz. The tweeter is 6-8 ohms. Simply connect to your amplifiers. Be careful with the spring loaded connectors. The necks on the base connection is weak, so, rotate carefully.The sound quality smooths out after breaking-in about 40-50 hours. I'm also using active crossover's and set the tweeters crossover point higher to about 5K Hz (the midrange is set from 300 to 5000 kHz) That higher setting reduced the tweeters volume slightly while making them sound smoother and sweeter.

They have a sound frequency crossover installed. I connected across from the main speaker terminals. I don't know about the ohm resistance but they work great on my 5 ch. System.

The tweeter part of the speakers have built in crossovers, but not the main speaker. You can still damage them if you allow to much bass through them.

After you run the main wire to the speaker you need a short jumper wire to the other side for the second tweeter. Also, if you plan to put them outdoors I would suggest painting the outer mounting ring and speaker screen with white Rust-oleum to prevent fading.

look them up on partsexpress.com. but you should know that you really can not over power stereo speakers. you only damage them when you give them too little power. that because you end up giving them a distorted signal. more importanly look at the impedance. make sure that the impedance on the amp matches the speakers. most amps and speakers operate at 8 ohms.

one more thing i forgot to mention son. remember this system is a 4 ohm system. you cannot hook it up to a "normal" stereo receiver because they are almost all wired for 8 ohm. my son`s friend bought these after hearing them at my house and hooked them to an integrated amplifier his buddy gave him and blew them up. my apologies if you already were aware of this.

To avoid cutting the wire that connects the main speakers, to install this you'll probably need an adapter that converts the two speakers outputs in four - can get very cheap adapter on Amazon, specifying the make and model of your vehicle - or just cut the wire that connects to the main speakers. You just have to decide where you will place the tweeters.

When I received the speakers the tweets were included. By the way the sound great. All I can recommend is to break them in for at least a week depending on your time listening to them. To do that listen to them with the volume down alittle basically don't bang them like you stole em. I noticed they sound better than they did when I first got them. Hope this helps and good luck. Also stock decks will hender the performance of the speakers

Since you have a 4 year old car your wiring should be in very good condition and therefore very likely you won't have to replace wires or connections. If I remember correctly, these speakers come with 3 options to pick from to mount onto your car's existing speaker mounts (holes). As you can see, the small tweeters aren't built into the speaker so you'll have to open up the area where your car's stock tweeters are located, and I'm betting that's a piece of plastic covering your tweeter that'll snap on and off with a little forceful tug, but be careful not to break it. The connections are very standard, one is thick and one is thin. Use your car's existing wires to connect to the speaker's input, then use the crossover wires that come with these speakers to connect the output of the speaker to the input of the tweeter. Connect the thick to thick and the thin to thin, that simple. If your car doesn't already have a place to mount the tweeters then this is where you'll have to get creative and make a place to mount them, but all these new cars i'm betting have their tweeters somewhere by the windshield and door. I tried looking at Kenwood's website for their installation diagram they used to have as PDF format but i think they took it down. I can't even find these speakers anymore. I bought them about 2 years ago. Had to get creative and make a place for my tweeters since i have a 1996 model. I like the investment I made on these speakers, not one regret.

First off find out your speaker wire neg and positive, once you get that, the wire with the white line on it is your neg on the tweeter, put it with the neg wire on speaker, and all black wire on tweeter is pos and put it with the pos on speaker, and mounting them, we'll the sticky pad that comes with them ain't great, they do come with a bracket

Yes the tweeters come with a crossover. One for each tweeter. They have connectors that hook to the wire that comes with them but I cut the connectors off so I could place them closer to the stereo. I also had to wrap scotch tape around the crossover housing to keep them from coming open. Also one of the wire broke off from the back of the tweeter. Luckily I know how to solder. So... If you are willing to repair these tweets as soon as you get them they are a good deal. They sound good. they are kinda big Golf-ball size almost. but for the price they're good.

Are the speakers 500 watts continues or peak power?, are the speakers subwoofers or 2/3 way systems? I would be cautious about connecting these speakers in the bridge mode because of the 3000 watt power output in 4ohms of this amplifier, also remember that running this amplifier in the bridged mode it should be plugged into a outlet with no extension cord with a minimum 30amp circuit breaker. Before going to the bridged mode try a mono connection it should give you enough power and be safe. Good luck.

You have a screw plug that you put the positive wire on 0db or -3db. But, in my experience with them...-3 isn't enough. If your tweeter is a good distance away from your woofer, these really could use -5db. But honestly? Compared to the polk db6501s, these tweeters are very low quality. Even if you turn them down, they sound so tinny. Which is odd, for such a good sized tweeter. These aren't horrible speakers, but I see them as more 50$ worth. Not 100$

They use + / - terminals. They can be seen running vertically the length of the speaker on the left and right (in the amazon picture).

Hey Michael, they didn't come with crossovers. On the system I ran, there wasn't a need for a crossover. Also, these speakers dont come with tweeters.

get these, other wise you will have to drill a hole for the tweeters like I did...good luckRockford Fosgate P165 Punch 6.5-Inch 2-Way Coaxial Full-Range Speaker

Hi, you should have no issues at 8 ohms. Used a dozen of these for an install last year and they sound great, and the moveable tweeter makes a difference

Some incorrect answers here. These are not powered speakers, so they do not connect to line voltage or any power supply. They connect only to an external amplifier via speaker wire. Whatever amp you use is what will need to match the voltage you have.
