Disconnect your rcas to your sub amp, and disconnect your speakers from the crossovers. Play some music and see if they cut out or not.

the cross overs are built in on the speaker

Disconnect the speaker from the crossover then, or will it cut power to the tweeter? Are these the ones you have? If so i dont see any inputs, just the pos and neg coming from the crossover and onto the speaker.

yea thats what i have. the tweeter and crossover are connected in the same spot and there is no where to disconnet the tweet from the crossover. can crossovers heat up?

Humm that sucks. You could still disconnect your subs and try to listen to them. You should be able to tell if a tweeter cuts out or not, especially at high volumes. You could try the paper trick as well. Run a decent length piece of paper through the gaps where your tweeter is. Play it without your subs on and see if the paper is vibrating. If and when you think it cuts out feel that paper again to see.

Yes your slopes could have something to do with it. You could try to put your settings back to flat and see what the crossover on the speaker does.

Read my other post again, i added some info to try and help ya.
