Hi,

I have a set of Panasonic component speakers and have installed them into the front doors of my Audi A3. The problem i am having is that one of the tweeters has stopped working completely. I am assuming its blown. As i need a new tweeter i am thinking about getting a set of good quality tweeters and putting them in.

I have a sub and want clear sound. Is it more important to have better quality tweeters the midrange speakers? Or should i buy a whole new component set? (I don't have too much money to spend). I can still buy a good set of tweeters, it just depends on what is more important.

Thanks.

The components i have also don't have very good crossovers. There is no crossover box. I am not sure if audi already have crossovers, but the midrange speaker simply uses the standard lead for the audi and the tweeter uses the audi lead and a lead i was supplied with the components (which i am assuming allows only the treble signal to go through. I have set my amp for the crossovers to high pass. However if i put the bass up to even 0 on the head unit, a lot of bass is still going though to the components when the volume is put up causing distortion. Is there anything i can do about this? As if i turn the bass down the bass goes down for the sub. (There are seperate amps).

Is this the job of decent crossovers supplied with most modern components?
