Default Adding extra set of tweets to MB Quarts Componets?

I want to add and extra set of tweets and was wondering what I would have to do as far as the wiring goes. I have a set of MB Quarts PSD213's and I need to know how to add the extra set and wire up to the passive X-overs that came with the setup, as they are setup for only the 1 mid and 1 tweet for each side......I am not getting enough higs and when I do get enough they will cut out when pushing them...So iwas thinking about adding another set and relocating one set in the dash and the other set in the door handle....This is in a C-4...I have the set now in the dash flush mounted where the old 4x6's used to be...and I have them set at 0db's as I thought that is where they need to be to get all I can out of them. The mid is in the door. If you guys could steer me in the right direction on how to wire them or maybe another suggestion for me...I was thinking about getting a 3 way system and putting the mid woofer in the doors with the tweet in the door handles and put the smaller midrange in the dash. What do you guys think? or am I just being STUPID....I am :confused:

I am not getting enough higs and when I do get enough they will cut out when pushing them...
I"m sure Kale will jump in here since he doesn't like MBs :p: , but MBs are known for being bright - if you're not getting enough highs, are you sure your install is OK? I love my MBs, but of the criticisms of them that I'll admit to, not enough highs is not one of them.

Aim the tweeter at the opposite side seat. youll like them a lot more, I think.

My install in fine.....I was wondering id maybe I went the wrong way with using the 0db line verses the other 2 of -3 or -6db's.

So if I remove them from the top of the dash where I have them now and relocate them to the black plastic door release handle area and angle them a bit to aim to the oppsite seat, I should like them alot more and then not have to add a second set....why do alot of people add a second set to help with the immage issue, which I have no idea what that is...Kale can you clear this up for me?.......So should I forget about adding another set?.....What about my thought on pulling these out and going with a 3 way setup and putting the woofer in the door and the tweet where I had said in the door pull and putting the midrainge in the dash.....Or am I just taking hard medication....Keep in mind I am in the process on adding the second JL10W3, if that even matters.

and thanks for the help... :cheers:
