Default What comes first, chicken or the egg?
Installing a Biketronics kit. Trying to decide between adding an amp or a set of tweeters. I particularly like the gauge pod tweeters Hawg Wired sells. Money is a bit tight, so I'm limited to only one option at the moment.

What to do, what to do...hmmm

That's easy...get the amp. Most decent 6.5 inch speakers will have good tweeters.
