Tweeter as my surround??

Hi,i have floostander speaker(kef),center speaker & subwoofer(kef also),but i wanted to make experiment if tweeter speaker is possible for surrounds.I saw Tweeter which 100watts and just 1 1 1/2 inch.is it possible thi kind of set up for my home theather.
You might be curious ,why im doing this instead of buying a dedicated surround speaker?Well i just wanted to hide the surrounds without knowing where it is located,and i think this tiny tweeter will fit.is it possible or is there any big changes for the sounds during watching movies.THANKS for advance reply.

Just what range does this tweeter cover? A midrange would be much more practical as the tweeter likely only covers the musical overtones at this size. One of the full range drivers would be the best choice if you wanted to stay small. I think you would be surprised at how little energy the tweeter actually supplies.

While most people use smaller speakers for surrounds, the laws of physics still apply. So, if you want to expect any bass with any decent output levels, you cannot use just a tweeter or any minuscule speaker.
