Default wiring tweeters

Is it better to wire them in series with the rears or parallel.
Thanks

I'd wire them in parallel. If you wire them in series, you will increase the impedance which will result in less output from the HU.

Actually, he would be better off wiring in series because the output will only be decreased for the high frequencies, but the second tweeter will make up for the difference in power. If he wires in parallel it will sound really bright. :cheers:
