The tweeters will get less power because there's less energy content in music, not so much because of the impedance. As you seem to know, one job of a passive crossover is to make the amplifier see a certain impedance at rest that's different than the drivers in parallel or in series.Another effect to consider is that adding tweeters in parallel with a 2-way component set doesn't actually make the amplifier see that low of an impedance while music is playing. The effect is smaller because the voice coil in the tweeter is much less massive than in a woofer, and it also doesn't move as much.</blockquote>
