[QUOTE="Smtcoil, post: 8830235, member: 688220"] Alright, first off, I don't understand audio systems that well. I understand a bit, but not enough to figure this out. I have a 14 malibu with stock head unit non pioneer system, still with the touch display. No factory amp, no aftermarket amp. Front door and tweeters were replaced with JBL 601C 50 watt component system, back doors JBL 631 three way 45 watt, and I added a Rockford fosgate P300-10 powered sub 300 watt. All the JBL speakers work great in the doors, but the tweeters blew very quickly. One lasted 2 weeks, one lasted 2 months. Switched them over to Skar Audio TWS-01 240 watt max (for the pair so I guess 120 watt each?). Lasted a couple months, and one blew again. I didn't put in the crossover on the JBL as I assumed since the car had factory tweeters, it had crossovers. The Skar tweeters had inline crossovers which were much easier to install than JBLs, so I did. Everything sounded great and I never noticed any distortion or anything, just that one day the driver side tweeter no longer worked.
