    need more info. Have you checked wiring connections? Anything loose? Could be a bad polyswitch on the crossover? Under what conditions does the tweeter cut out? High volumne, random times, ect...

    yes at high volumes the left side cuts out and when I turn it down it comes back to life.

    hope not to blow them. No earth shaking like my RT2000i's can do, but I do like some volume. I will probably see if someone will walk me through the replacing the polyswitch out and replacing these tweeters at the same time. Thanks.

    Switch them out a see if the right side cuts out. You were going to buy newer ones anyway, now you have an excuse:smile:
