Are you posting from a phone?

How about a link or two.

Just looking at drivers doesn't (necessarily) mean a lot.

How will they driven?

Two channel with passive crossover or 4 channel with DSP or analog cross/EQ?

(I know nothing specific about car audio. I listen to right-wing wacko talk shows in the car with a crappy stock Toyota system. And Art Bell/George Noori if late night)

I'm actually using a cheap head unit for now so no amp and the crossovers it comes with

I have the older Focal PolyKevlar units and am happy with them. I also use a Focal amp (in one car).

One thing you want to do is to mount the tweeter as close to ear level as possible and on axis.

here is a clever mount by a VW Vanagon owner using a raquetball...
