Does anyone's tweeters....

Does anyone have a crackling/scratchy kind of sound coming from the tweeters when certain notes/tones are in a song? I'm not sure if I blew them or if they just aren't that great...help?

I've noticed the cracking/scratching too. It always seems to come during the same notes... it's pretty obnoxious.

I noticed a wizzing sound from the tweeters (or maybe front door) - sounds like I already blew the speakers, and I usually run them at 18 volume or less (24 with sunroof at 80 mph). It doesn't matter to me - I got Polk db component and 6.5" to replace them with, just need some time and amp connection hardware to get it done. Anyone know if jacking around in the door is gonna make the dealership say I caused the rattles I currently have? Anyway, not sure why the stock speakers make this noise, they usually sound fine, but that noise is audible at times...

I'm not sure, but this is why I havent changed my speakers yet. I want to get my rattles fixed with everything kept stock. And then start playing

I have certainly noticed this especially on a certain song - 'Spare a Dime' on Boz Scaggs' Anthology CD. Maybe it is the recording but I don't hear it on my home setup.

Let me know how the install goes....I'm still skeptical that any aftermarket tweeters will fit w/o some cutting. Hopefully it works out!
