Those are SB Acoustic tweeters and Hybrid Audio Legatia L3's. I am still running my factory hu until next week when I will be installing a Pioneer DEH-80prs. I still have to decide what 8 inch midbasses I want to use in the doors and get more amp channels to take better advantage of the Pioneer.

Thank you. Their imp plot (8" version) suggests to me that they will need to be x'd around 90 at the least to be able to play well at higher output levels and not to mention but between 250 and 475 there is a 3-4 db drop then it starts to rise again. I have been looking into the L8's from Hybrid, SB Acoustic 8's, Scanspeak Discovery, Seas, and the HiVi M8a cast frame woofers. I will be playing them at 500hz and down or lower. Depends on what I end up liking the most for my L3's. They currently are x'd at 500hz @12db but can be x'd at 200 @ 24db so I have a little room to work with for the 8's. But I want them to be pretty flat up to 500hz and I want them to be able to dig low with authority. While I probably will hpf them around 60-70 I still want them to be able to play lower well as that will allow them to play even better at 60-70. I like impact and dynamics which is why I will be feeding the midbasses between 145 and 200 watts. The tweets and mids will have 80 each avail. Sub is currently 2 8's but will be replaced with one 10 in the box I built in the factory sub location. One of the 8's is in it now but the other is taking up hatch space and I do not want that. Otherwise I would put a 15 or 18 back there .
.Dude I think we should be friends. Finally someone on here with a brain..

I got the grills cut out and mounted both tweeters
then one blew.
any suggestions on high wattage tweeters or components that sound good?
I would also need a crossover for them so they don't blow again

No sir they are not the Vifa's. They are SB Acoustics, these to be exact http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com...weeter-4-ohms/ .
I am not sure what you mean by the mounts. I am thinking you mean the rings that I glassed into the pillars. I made the speaker rings myself from some scrap mdf I had. They were scraps that were actually the inside cutouts from my 8" speaker rings I made earlier.
These next two show the contors the best.
And this is before wrapping. Note I did a final sand and bondo app before wrapping. I have finally found a vinyl that is a match to the lt grey part of my interior. I will be wrapping them in that on Monday.
