Default Which tweeters?

I have Polk db tweeters and MB Quart QM 13 HX tweeters (from the DSE216 component set). Which tweeters would sound better and should eb put up front? They're being used with Polk db 6.5" components.

The impedance for the MB Quart is 6 ohms I belive, and the dbs are 2 ohms can I use the MB Quarts with the db crossovers/mids?

Dro's right that it may be easier to get a good answer in the audio section but I'll add my two cents although it's not worth much more than that. The Polk crossover may be less than ideal with the Quart tweeters but they may work fine. If those are the impedences, the Quarts would be much quieter with the Polk crossovers and would probably be overpowered by the mids.

It wouldn't hurt to try it out both ways and see how it works, what sounds "better" is very subjective, just mount the tweeters temporarily with some double sided tape and listen to both sets.
