I was thinking about getting these tweets. I dont want to do any cutting or anything. Are they a good buy. Im lookin to spend about 50-60 buckes on a pair.

Factory tweets are 3" so obviously you'd have to do some work to adapt those into the factory openings either an adapter plate or get a set of factory blanks(for non tweeter equiped cars and drill those to fit ...
OR you can read my other post and order a set of Bose 301/501/601 tweets from ebay they are 3" Exact fit just pop out and drop in

are u tlking about these.

Exactly  ;)

How good r those. Ive always like bose but how good will they sound in the car.

They sound far better then stock ...

will the old grilles fit.

Yup direct fit ...use the sticky rubber from the stockers and the capacitor across the terminals and observe proper polarity

Better than stock infinity as well?

ight kewl thnz guyz.

YES

ordered me a pair yesterday.

I ordered a pair as well. My stock tweets are Infinity. Therefore, they don't have the little bass blocker on them.

Would it be alright to just run these off of the crossovers I have for my component set? Have the component tweeters and the Bose dash speakers running off of the same set of terminals?

If you are running it off the stock infinity amp it has a crossover built into the amp ...

I don't have the Infinity system. I bought these Infinity tweets because they were black to fill the holes when I replaced my dash with a black one.

I'm powering my components and rear deck speakers with an aftermarket 4-ch amp.

I'd be cautious about jumping it across the component tweets as it might throw off the impedance signifigantly...

What I'd suggest is running the head units front channels (unused at this time ) to the tweets in the dash and add a bass blocker across the terminals

My component and rear deck speakers are receiving 75 watts rms each via a JL 300/4 and it pushes that regardless what voltage my battery is producing.
Now my receiver is an Eclipse CD3200. It pushes 14 watts rms per channel at 14.4 volts. I know I'm not running a constant 14.4 so the rms on the headunit is significantly less.
So running my components and rear deck speakers at 75 watts each and having the speakers in the dash running at less than 14 watts each, will I even hear the difference of having the Bose speakers in the dash?

Anyway, I've never had to buy bass blockers and unsure of which to get. Suggestions?

Peripheral PBASS6 (black) 4ohm 3-1/2" 0-5.6khz
Peripheral PBASS5 (red) 4ohm Tweeters 0-2.8khz

your probably not at 75 watts constantly... they should be heard , try to hook them up and see
either of those will work I'd get the first  one listed ...

On the regular non Infinity speaker, the little resistor on it is just hooked up to the negative. Do I leave it this way on the Bose speaker or does it still need to be across both terminals.

I'm going to go ahead and use the non-Infinity speakers for the parts rather than buying a pair of aftermarket bass blockers.

It's not a resistor it's a capacitor .... I forget the value
