Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

The reference 3506string gave is good, but for what it's worth, let me say that I added piezo tweeters to my BXR200 to brighten it up. Note the plural. The original plan was to simply add one. I did that. But it was too loud. A test with an audio sweep generator showed it was very unmatched to the level of the 15" main speaker. WAY too loud.
My plan was to do as you are doing and simply add an attenuator. But then I got a brainstorm. These tweeters are cheap. Why not just use more of them? So I tried two in series and it matched the level of the main speaker. So by pointing one slightly left and one slightly right it gives me a nice dispersion of highs and also matches the level for a smooth response. Just an idea that may work for you. And of course it usually is best to have a tweeter on-off switch as a hiss-killer.
