Thanks for all the responses!
I have the factory 130 Right now with stock non infinity speakers. I'm planning on changing the dash and soundbar to the Kickers, I haven't decided on tweeters yet. I also intend to go with the JL Stealthbox & amp... I'm not looking to hit 150 db LOL, I'm just looking to make it a nice clean upgrade. To add to all this I want to go with pioneer's new app radio that is expected to come out in the spring (SPH-DA100).
I know alot of people might find the box overpriced but I leave my top and doors off as soon as it hits 65+ and doesn't go back on until winter.
Any input or opinions are always welcome!

If I was you, I would look into buying a "component" system which would include the Tweeters, Front Woofers and Cross-over. That way all the front speakers and cross-over are properly matched to work together.
Personally I went with the Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 Component system. This kit comes with a 1" Tweeter and high performance cross-over. I highly recommend a 1" tweet, it's the biggest that will fit in the JK tombstone mounts and the 1" will give you more mid-range response than a 3/4" which is important to help keep the sound from sounding like it's all coming from your knees where the woofers are mounted.

i have the jl audio tweeter and the sound is fantastic
in the front i have kicker component speakers and i use that crossover for the jl audio tweeter
and in the back i just have coaxial kickers
the addition of the jl tweeter made a huge difference in the soundfield up front, it just sounds so much fuller having the sounds coming from above and below

I know there are multiple tweeter threads on the forum but I can't find any that answer the specific information I'm looking for so I'm going to ask it here. Obviously I'm planning on replacing the ones in the dash very soon. Here are a couple of questions I have:
What are the absolute best tweeters on the market (regardless of price)?
If the tweeters come with a cross over are they required if installing them in the dash location?
What are the best tweeters recommended for the price (Best bang for the buck)?
Any other input anyone feels like offering feel free to Hi-Jack, I'm just looking for as much tweeter information as possible in one location.
Thanks in advance

The tweeters absolutely should come with a crossover along with the woofer. The crossover should always be used even if you hafta sit on it! By far the best way to get a matched tweeter, crossover, and woofer is to buy the set ("components").
Best bang for the buck is often the second from top of line. Its often the same speakers with a missing feature or two.
Other input: No free lunch with speakers. Buy quality and buy a matched set of components.
