Can tweeters be wired in parallel?

I know how to wire speakers/subs in parellel. But I am not sure about how to do it for tweeters. I think the inline crossover throw me off. Would you use both crossovers still? If someone could post or draw a picture that would be amazing!

you can wire them however you like,just match them to the power they are rated for,and to what the amp can provide.if your amp does 100 rms x2 at 2ohms,and you have 4 4ohm tweets that do 50 rms a piece,then wire them parallel at 2 ohms.

Do not wire two tweeters to a crossover design for only 1. The change in ohm loads alters the frequencies cut out by the crossover. Depending on tweeter and crossover in question as well as the power you are dealing with...they can either sound like total garbage or ruin the tweeters.

Glad to hear it. Yeah I've thought about going active and getting some more highs. Seems like sometimes they get lost in the music. Also thought about just running two sets of component's.
