[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6869625, member: 549629"] The proper way to blend speaker outputs is by adjusting the loudest set down to match the quietest set. So I could suggest you trying simply dialing the mids down a bit till the output blends better. Its quite possible you are clipping that small amp, which is why the tweeters are cutting out once in a while. Squared signal waves (clipping distortion) create excess heat that the speaker has to dissipate. When I hear people say PA tweeters in their car, my mind always goes to piezo based bullet tweeters first, which sound like a nasally train horn. Getting 3 or 3-1/2" mids would help the tweeters, since you could run the tweeter's HP filter higher, cutting out more of their bass output which will improve their heat problems and improve output potential. If it would be enough, or if you would be able to blend all three sets of speakers together well, is something I cannot guess at however. IMO it sounds like you should start considering buying a processor so you can go with a fully active front stage. [/QUOTE]
