"Blowing out" tweeters is indicative of something VERY wrong.
The experiences that I have had with Seas leave me highly suspect that the problem is the design of the driver. Eldartford, you must be really running some crazy signal into these tweeters to have experienced this more than once, let alone once. With all of the crazy things I have witnessed in my life, and believe me, there have been a lot of them, I've maybe blown out one tweeter.
The one that takes the cake is where a pair of speakers ran the tweeters flat out for over five years (and I've personally routinely listened to them at over 100 dB, often at over 115 dB). When my buddy finally realized his blunder, he didn't even want to tell me what he did. Let's just say the speakers are a whole lot smoother sounding now...
Of course, a fuse will protect a tweeter, but at a sonic price (ESPECIALLY with this level of driver) that I'd NEVER pay knowing what a decent tweeter can take.
