[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8618304, member: 614752"] larger format tweeters will help with power handling, but you may also be pushing your amp into clipping. You might stop by a reputable shop or car audio competition/show/meetup and get a second opinion on how it sounds when you play at your usual listening levels. A more experienced listener may be able to tell you you're turning the volume up too high. That said, if you keep the volume on your head unit down 1 click from the highest you normally run it that should keep things safe. Many folks don't really understand just how much extra power your amp is making with each click of the volume knob. You can go from being fine to play for 12 hours to blown in under 3 minutes in one click. [/QUOTE]
