Blown tweeters


I have a pair of talon khorus speakers with upgraded crossovers. I was listening to music and the larger tweeter on both speakers went at the same time both seem to be dead any ideas on what may have caused this I want to order new tweeters but worried it may happen again

In any event, lots of things can go wrong before the tweeter.  If you wanted to thoroughly diagnose it, get a Dayton audio DATS V2 to measure the impedance of your whole speaker a swell as the drivers out of the box. 

One step below that is to remove the tweets and test with an Ohm meter.  See if you have a short (no Ohms) or open (overloaded or infinite Ohms) circuit.

How do you know they are blown, by the way? 

Often we don't even hear when a tweeter goes out.  A midrange though... :)
