[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8830256, member: 675210"] Aftermarket tweeters on a factory stereo with no tweeter crossover added. It would not take loud or high volume levels to blow a 1/2", 3/4", or 1" tweeter that is not crossed over. I am 99% sure you were sending low enough frequencies to the tweeters to blow them even at reasonable listening levels. Because tweeters are designed to play high frequencies you most likely would not hear the lower frequencies that were frying the light duty voice coils of the tweeters making them move in and out much further than designed and causing heat they could not handle. Find out what impedance the factory head unit or factory amp is and match the tweeters. Make sure to use the crossovers. Bypass the factory crossovers if you can find them and use the crossovers that came with the tweeters/speakers only. When I was blowing tweeters often these were the only one's that I didn't fry.
