Shopping list to complete old audio set
 
First off, I drive a 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe which I have been led to believe has 6.5" speakers in the front and back with a lot of depth to work with. The front has a dedicated installation point for a separate tweeter, but the rear does not.

Through some unfortunate circumstances, I started with a complete car audio setup but now I have a few components missing. Currently I have the following components, in addition to the necessary installation equipment:

1 pair of 6.5" Hertz HSK 165 hi-energy woofers and associated crossovers (no tweets)
1 Alpine PDX-4.150 amplifier
1 set of Rainbow crossovers (not sure the model)

What I think I need:
1 Line out converter - is the AudioControl LC6i a good choice?
1 pair of tweeters to go with the Hertz woofers
Either
a) 1 pair of 6.5" coaxial speakers for the rear (since there's no easy tweet mount point)
b) 1 pair of 6.5" woofers and tweeters to go with the Rainbow crossovers (and try to find somewhere clever to mount the tweeters)

Does this cover all of my needs? I'm not interested in setting up a subwoofer yet, so no need to purchase that set of equipment.

crossovers are cheap. I would suggest getting the tweeters that match your hertz set up front, sell the rainbow xovers and buy a set of coaxials for the rear. I can tell you about the LC6i in the next couple of days as mine is arriving today.

So I installed my LC6i this morning. First impressions are really good. it is doing exactly what I need it to do. it turns on my amp, and converts the speaker level to RCA level and it sounds really clean.

^ Did you pull out the Clean Sweep or just not use it?

NVM- just read the other thread.

Even though you found the answer I wanted make sure it clear, the clean sweep is now in its box in the closet.

IMO that's the best place for it..
