Default Tweeters

Looking for some insight on adding tweeters to my system. I just installed the SS 4.520D, infiniti kappas 62.11 in the fairing and will be installing pioneers in the lids when they return from paint on my Roadglide. A buddy of mine had a pair of hawg wired tweeters he could not use and I was thinking of putting them in the gauge holes, but went on the hawg wired site to do some checking and ran across a tweeter kit made for the roadglide (RG5254) that cost the same and I will not have to loose my gauges.
Questions:
1. - are the hawg wired tweeters any good or would i be better off getting something different and putting in the gauge holes.
2. - With the kappas in front would tweeters be over kill for highs.

I have the same amp with BT 7.1...I thought they lacked the highs of the Polks so I added a set of polk tweeters in the gage hole..definetly lights up the highs almost too much and these only tune by snipping the wire to drop them down to 0 dbs, still gotta do that becuase it is kinda piercing at times...do ya need em..eh most say no but the do seem to clean it up some.

I presently run those same Infinities in my fairing and they have an adjustment on the tweeter if you want to make them a little brighter. I wouldn't think you would need any additional tweeters with those speakers. They sound excellent just like they are, Especially matched with the Pioneer 6 x 9's. Perfect Combo!

Thanks for those comments, this forum has been a blessing for me and saved me a bunch of money by doing the work myself.
