Re: (B18C_EJ8)
Pioneer DEH-P6900UB is my head unit, I really don't know about the crossovers, the tweeters are left from the previous owner who thought that the jvc head unit he had in there was hot stuff. I am not very sound equipment literate but I know quality.

Re: tweeters (mtownek9)
My questions would be, why are you only replacing the tweeters?
Are they the tweeters of a Polk 2way component speaker system, or just a set of tweeters that were added to something else?
If so^^^^
What else is connected with the tweeters?
Are they running off the Pioneer HU, or is there an off board amp driving them?

Re: tweeters (mtownek9)
Then you should be replacing the set not just the tweeters.
Component speakers are generally higher power handling then a 2way coax, even today's Polk, entry level, 2way component system db6500 is a 100W speaker, [300W peak], without a model number I don't know about yours, but would be willing to bet they are 75-80 watts anyway.
You can not drive a set of 75W 2way component speakers properly with HU power, you ideally would use a 2x75-100 watt amp to drive them.
Polk speakers are pretty good, for the price, even their entry level speakers are, if the mids are still good, [unlikely, when component speakers "blow" it's almost always the tweeter that goes first] and the x-overs are still good, [also unlikely] you should replace the tweeters with "matching" ones, [same power handling, same frequency response, same impedance] in other words, a set that will work properly with the Polk x-overs. 94
