Default Tweeter/horn recommendation?

OK ... Looking to get some of my "sound stage" back that I lost when I went from my Focal VB165 components > BT 7.1 Pro's. Having a FLHT, I prior swapped spots of my fuel/volt meter guages, putting them in the empty lower holes and used the upper holes for the tweets. I now have faux speakers in the holes and want to use them. Any ideas for horns or tweets that will run nicely in unison with the Pro's? Also be 4 ohm as I'm running a pair of 4 ohms off my BT4180 fronts for the fairing/lower speakers. ST25's seem to be a popular choice. Hopefully not break the bank Thx for input

Didn't the BT Pro's come with tweeters?

The ST 25s are a good choice and not really overly expensive. Feel free to shoot me a message if you need pricing.

I would not combine horns and pros 7.1 and give them equal power. That's going to sound WAY too bright.

^^^I tend to agree here. If you want to go the horn route you would be better suited with a good mid driver like the SV 165, or the Dd vo 6.5 to pair with a set of horns. I mis read the post and didn't realize you had the 7.1 pros. Haze is right with his post

DD Audio B3 horns is another option.

Thanks for the input. I have a buddy who has access to a few different kinds of 1" tweeters. Sometime in the next couple weeks I'll play around with the tweets in the two fairing slots. I'll initially power them using the fronts off my MEX-M70BT. We shall see...
