What do i need for my tweets

[chapo123]

well imma still be rocking the stock hu for a while and cant get a 4channel hooked up. only my sub amp. and i have some super tweets laying around i can hook up. i was wondering if i can use a cheap 2 channel amp on them? or would it sound like shit? what would i need? i know it might not be as good as it can get but its better then nothing. also links to what i would need would be very helpful as well.! im thinking of just buying a cheap knock off 1200watt 2 channel for like 100 bucks. but would it work?

also if this helps the reason im getting the cheap 1200 watt amp is for 2 sundown 8s im planning on getting and since my tweets are just laying around i was wondering if i would be able to hook up tweets to it to?

if it just for tweets and u wanna go for the cheaps why not just get something refurb from sonicelectronix make sure it has a high pass filter for the tweets http://www.sonicelectronix.com/viewcat.php?category_id=26&ls=1&sort_order=price_asc&f_52_32=1&in_stock=yes this one seems kinda nice http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_24076_Autotek+MM125.2+R-B.html

and if guess if u wanna get use it for subs maybe this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_25698_Power+Acoustik+OV2-1600+R-B.html

yeah i was just looking at those. but i would need somehting beefier too to push some sundown 8s

[chapo123]

the more i think about it the more stupid this idea sounds to me lol. would it be possible to hook up sundown 8s and set amp just like if it was for subs but send speaker wire to tweet but in between tweet and amp put a cross over?

its 2 of these cheap super tweets too btw. sorry i know my fair share of subs and stuff but im a complete newb when it comes to mids and highs stuff http://www.deffaudio.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=23_94&products_id=1859&osCsid=ssayvgtnsrfau

why not get an active crossover?

tweeters really dont need much power at all. mine are getting 1/3 the power my mids are.

shit it does sound kind of dumb but if u want another dumb but smart idea why dont u just get a 4 channel http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_24055_Hifonics+PLUTO+A6400+R-B.html and on 2 channels just run the tweets set the crossovers to high pass and on the rear channels run the woofers and set the crossover to low pass and problem solved..

yeah i know tweets dont need much power, and rocking stock mids and highs is getting weird so anything helps lol what exactly is a active cross over? dont want to spend to much money on this. i just came up with the idea of it since im getting 2 sa 8s and a cheap "1200" watt amp that should push em enough. im putting them under front seats.. lol sorry told you i was a newb when it comes to mids and highs lol
