Thanks again - I will check all of this stuff. Another wrinkle I didn't mention because it's a separate issue: When those fine, competent folks at Circuit City did their 9-hour system install they failed to anchor everything in the doors properly, so since a few months after, I've been hearing...

I've been thinking about the mounting and deadening aspect - would that affect the mids and highs that much? I've always assumed deadening had most dramatic impact on the bass, not treble. If I've truly fried - or just damaged to some degree - the MB Quarts, will swapping in new tweeters fix...
