I think it was Kale who bought those pyramid tweets for $20 and did a review of them. I recall they were impressive for the price (and brand).

Yeah, $20 shipped or so. After a slight modification they were quite a bit of all right.

but I'd go with CDT Image Enhancement tweeters on sale.

theyre on sale!

I've got a pair from Radio shack that I used to have hooked up to the stock rear speakers. You can have 'em if you want 'em.

Don't know the ohms off the top of my head and too lazy to look them up. The Utopias are comp. type, 165W3 in the front 3 way and 136W in the rear 2 way. You can find the specs on the net if you do a search. :seeya

Your right about the location, I have the TN51's mounted behind the stock speaker grills in the front. The rears are mounted just below the stock speaker grills, the whole system sounds real sweeeeeeeeettttttt. :seeya
