Default Adding just tweeters in the rear.

While out the last couple of times on the sled with the wife I couldn't hear my highs from the back. The bass response is still good.
I don't want to cut holes in the lids or bags not just yet at least.

I was thinking of just adding some tweeters in the open some were but haven't just yet figured the placement out yet.

I don't want it to be overly .BRIGHT when I'm running solo either

Looking for a recommendation from the group of a yea or nay and would it hurt putting 4 ohm tweeters parallel with 2 ohm speakers

My set up
Stock HU
SS PN4 1000D
4 x Infinity Kappa 62.11i

I would just add lids with a 6x9 coaxial in them rather then stick a tweeter somewhere.

Tweeters are best when aimed towards your face.

But for what it's worth...I have a single "tooter" in the rear.

I would like to do lids but not in the budget for a while. The scoot needs some hoofs first

Default New product from J&M

You may want to consider the J&M Whip-Antenna Tweeter Kit.

This is a J&M exclusive.

The tweeters mount to the ball-end of the antennas, which allows for infinite adjustability.

They are wireless and work with a propietary AM modulator/Bluetooth interface developed by someone else and proudly labeled with the colorful J&M Name Brand Sticker.

Available for only $399.95 plus Ground Shipping.

My apologies for the blurry picture. The air inside the building was "whipping" them around.

Tweeters are VERY directional, and I doubt very seriously if they can be heard from behind you as much as you may hope.
