Default tweeter suggestion

Any suggestion which tweeters I should use with this setup. I am wanting tweeters to replace my gauges. I am getting ready to install a Kenwood HU, BT 4180 amp and BT 7.1 [non pro] speakers

unless you have some weird fascination with high frequencies there really is no need. i have the same speakers and they do just fine as they are. i actually had to dial the higher end frequencies down via my eq.

Yeah bro, those speaks are fairly damn bright already. If anything u should be thinking about adding complimentary warmth at a different location.
U will regret adding tweets!!!
Get some lowers or lids or TP pods with very good warmth and u will be in a much better place than more highs.

Ok thanks, I will not do the tweeters. I have pods, any suggestions for a good speaker for pods ? I thought of putting 6.5 or the BT 7.1 back there

FWIW, I recently installed a pair of the BT 6.5 speakers in my fairing and ended up disconnecting the previously installed Hogtunes Tweeter Pod as it was all too bright for me.

If you have the stock pods. Throw the Polk MM651's back there. I have not found a speaker that sounds better back there with the stock pods. They drop right in and sound amazing in that location.
