Uhh.  Like wired in parallel?  From the same output?  If so, this doesn't work.  The SST is a coaxial right?  You don't need that memphis tweeter, I promise.  Just wire the speaker to your output normally.  There is NOT a way to wire these componets together like this.

You need some sort of frequency seperation or you will kill your memphis tweeter and your soundstream speaker will sound terrible anyway.

The 3-ohm coaxials were an attempt by Soundstream to increase the power output of aftermarket head units - I've heard good things about them.
