Tweeter replacement

Can anyone recommend tweeter direct fit replacement for standard HiFi. Also would I have to get a tweeter with a cross over? I think my tweeters are already starting to go out when i added the Jl XD 600/6. Don't really want spend the money on full set of component speakers, car is a lease.

I'm only running the front speakers and underseat woofers and a small sub. Everything sounds great already. Maybe just want to replace the tweeters only. Bavsound is a full set of speakers right. I'm getting odd volume from the left speaker. Like it's coming in and out sometimes but very slight. Like a get a sudden burst of highs, I think the tweeter can't handle it or could be that I'm steaming songs via Bluetooth.

I installed these on mine. They are slightly smaller in diameter and I used a small piece of window insulation to fill in the gap. They come with crossovers.
I cut the wires with the plug from the stock tweeters and attached them directly to the crossover. You can also order the plastic plugs. No splicing required.

Rest of the speakers are stock along with the BimmerTech amp. Huge upgrade in sound quality!

Nice! I actually love infinity reference speakers. Had them in my old car. Really smooth. So you left the factory 4" speaker and used this tweeter? How did it sound? Much difference? Also is it amplified?

Correct - 4" mid is stock. I have the BimmerTech amp using the tune they supplied for stock setup.
Sound is amazing now - even with just the amp upgrade the stock tweeters were not clear. My wife is super picky when it comes to tweeters routinely trashed the sound - but now with the tweeter upgrade she loves it.
Disabling the center channel also made a huge difference in the sound - plus I didn't want the center channel crummy tweeter muddying up the sound.
Some people say the Infinity's are too bright - but to me they are just clear - and I prefer it that way.
