Default Looking for some tweeters

As stated, I think I want some tweeters for a little more treble. Also, I'm thinking I want to replace two of the gauges with these tweeters so I'm guessing these have a certain kind of style name? My system for the time being is: Sony MEX-GS810BH, BT 7.1 speakers in the fairing and a BT 4180. I plan on adding the HT lids and BT speakers before spring.
1) what are some good brands of tweeters?
2) what ohm should I be looking for?
3) how would I wire them up? (Hooked to the amp or hooked to the HU?)
This is on a Streetglide, thanks in advance!

Andy

1) there are many out there. J&M is a good one, among many others. Some tweeters fit perfectly in the gauge holes, some require the use of the older gauge plugs from HD. Part # 75106-96A
2) really doesn't matter as the tweeters will have little to no effect on total impedance at the amp or head unit
3) This is a matter of preference. Connect them to the amp and if you think they're too bright, then move them to the outputs on the head unit itself.

I really love my Hawg wired tweeters, and since I have almost the same set up as you have or are in the process of getting I can tell you that they really sound great with the BT stuff.
