to be honest, the best way to go about this is to actually return the infinity speakers you got and buy a component speaker set. This comes with a separate woofer and tweeter, along with everything you need to connect it to the amp. If you can, I would go that route.. It will not only make install and tuning easier, but it will sound better too.

yup agree with mrsoohoo. and the new components probably have better speaker components too, being that it's newer.

well, you could try to find some tweeters that will match your mids/mid-basses and some crossovers that match. Your best best would be to make a post over at http://www.diymobileaudio.com/ they seam to be the most knowledgeable when it comes to sound quality. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/ can help you with a box for the woofers, and http://caraudio.com/forum/forum.php can help you with racist jokes.

or you could run the tweeters and mids/mid-basses active, which means each speaker on a separate channel of a four channel amp, if you pick a four channel amp with built in crossovers you can adjust them until they sound good. basically it costs more, but you gain tuning ability, either way it will sound much better with the components on an amp instead of run from the head unit.

alrite thanx =p and yea ive just been trying to learn how to connect the tweeters to whatever it had to be connected to for them to work and sound pretty good. and thanx everyone for the help. and what do think is better for being loud sealed or a ported box?? its not for quality but for being vary loud..

he might be using a software to help him size his box. so it's probably telling him a 6" port? because he wants to reduce the length, most likely.
