Default Audio: tweeters stop working at high volume

sup guys, when i have music up passed about 58 (out of 62) my tweeters just stop working. i turn down my music to 0 and bring it back up it works again. any idea what could be wrong? or the tweets just can't take it. probably a different tuning on the amp perhaps.

i.c.e. are as follows:

Pioneer pdh5000 headunit
MB Quarts component speakers front (*tweeters in question)
Kicker coaxial rear speakers
Performance technique 320/4 4 chan
JL Audio 500/1 TMA monoblock
JL Audio 12w3 subwoofer

thanks

You blew your tweeters. They can no longer handle that much volume, so they cut out.

Wow turning it up to 58 out of 62? Are you deaf or is your system just not loud? lol.

You have most likely blown the tweeters.

Its pretty loud and its clear. i dont think im deaf i just like driving around in a night club. i cant see anyone dropping so much money on sound system mods and NOT turning it up. thats just me though.

they come stock with some paper cone tweeters. dnt know $about the dx though. ill pull em out n test em or somethin to see if theyre blown. prolly send em in for warantee or somethin

As someone who works in a night club, I can tell you that night clubs are loud.

You might as well upgrade the tweeters if you're pulling them out.
