alpine spx 177a help

[VoTran24 10+ year member]

today i noticed my speakers makin a weird sound when i turned it up like 3/4. It made a weird rattle. At first i thought that the woofer was hitting my door panel when i turn the volume up. but after i took out my door panels i noticed that one of them was still making the notice.

I thought that the woofer was rattling but i disconnected the speeker and the woofer was fine. Plugged the tweeters back in again and then it made the noise again. So then i switched the - and + of the tweeter on the crossover and then it sounded good. but then the fuse on the crossover started lighting up (looked like its a bad thing) so i disconnected it. The tweeter was making a distorted bass noise.

The weird thing about it is that when i plug only the - wire to the crossover the speakers worked fine but when i also connected the + to the crossover the fuse started to light up again. Anybody know anything about this? So the only way for me to have it sound normal is to connect only the - wire of the tweeter to the crossover and leave the + unconnected. Anybody wanna help? thanks

BTW its the alpine spx-177a's. I just installed it on sunday morning.

nvm. i fixed it. When i took off the factory A pillar peice that covers my tweeter the problem went away. I'm guessin that the reason why it made the noise is because the plastic peice was puched tight into the wires. I placed the wires so that it wouldnt be so tight to the plastic peice. Sorry if its hard to understand. thanks

Does the light still come on at all when you turn it up?
