Well I decided to install a Pioneer 8100, nice HU. I wired the tweeters to the amp front channel set to full and was using the HU crossover. Pretty cool feature with all that adjustability at your finger tips but don't know if it is as effective as the amp crossovers. Been playing with it for several weeks now and had it sounding pretty good and then it happened, I blew a tweeter.

So now I have another decision to make and would appreciate some help.
Thinking about going with a nice set of component speakers like Hertz or Focal but I am very happy with the Lanzar OPTI6 set that I have now. Should I purchase a better set of tweeters keeping the same setup I have and cross them with the HU or amp or should I go with the component set that has a dedicated crossover ?

If I go with the Hertz speakers will my PPI 900.5 drive them ok and are the XL'S worth the extra money over the 165.4 set ?

Thanks
