If it was "cutting out" it is likely you were over-driving the amp. Easy to break midranges, easiest to do if the crossover points are set low and you're not paying attention to bottoming out.You think I did blow them?? I was hoping it was my amp, because that thing has been giving me problems since day one, but I was thinking I might have blown them, just was hoping I didn't blow them expensive *** things. I'm curious as to why I might have blown them? I turned the gain way down on them when I got them because the tweeters where way to crisp and hurt my ears too much, i thought they could handle the small amount of power I was putting them or maybe just something isn't set correctly

Hard telling without listening, but that's what it sounds like from what you describe.
Might just go over to partsexpress and pick up some peerless or dayton brand mids to drop in their place. But when you replace them come back and let us help you set your gain and crossover points before you get too wild.
If you pull those midranges you can very quickly test if they're dead by hooking them up to a known good signal or even just using some wire and a flashlight battery to tap the terminals and see if the cone moves.
