Thanks for the good advice guy's.

I will have to admit that I am still learning and have a long ways to go when it comes to tuning the amp buy that's half the fun! Sounds way better than it did when I first started and I know that it will sound better as I learn more .

Ron, I am not using the rear amp channels , the Lanzars and tweeters are on the same front channels . The sub is from sub out. Would it be better to separate them and run the tweeters from the amp rear channels ? The way I have it wired now is with the tweeters and crossovers pigtailed off of the Lanzar wiring.

Very happy with the Lanzar speakers and plan on keeping them but if I am going to be rewiring some things I would like to upgrade the tweeters, any suggestions from you guys on a good set of tweeters/crossovers that will work good with my setup would be appreciated.

I think I have learned something in the last few minutes, correct me if I am wrong, with my tweeters wired to the amp rear channels this would be a active setup that will require active crossovers that will also give me a wider range of adjustment.

Thanks

Separate your woofers, and run off rear channel. Run tweeters off front channel. This gives you high pass capability for your tweeters adjustable up to 4khz, and the ability to control tweeter level independent of the woofers.

Sir, that is awesome advise. Looks like I have more work to do.

I going to stick with the stock HU for now mostly because I like the OEM look but I think I will add a set of higher quality tweeters.

One more question. By using this arrangement will I need to have a active crossover added between the HU and the amp or will the amp HPF do the job .

Thank You.

you will not need a crossover beyond what the amplifier has built in, just be sure not to cross the tweeters too low.
