Ooops...
What was your amp's volume level setting when you noticed the hissssssssss? Most systems have some level of background noise... When no source material is present to mask it, it will become noticeable at some volume setting... obviously the higher setting, the better, i.e., the noise is lower...
If the above is the case, we can go hunting the source of the "noise".
How does it sound with source material spinnin'?

not to sure somewhere around -35(being -70 no sound to +8 blasting)but why would air be shooting out of the tweeter like it was hook up to a compressor?when playing cd/dvd i don't hear nothing.maybe i'm to far away to hear it? thanks for the help,just thought since my other tweeters are not leaking air,that maybe it ment this one was blown?

Play a song...
If there is really an 'air leak' you should be able to see it.
If it still plays, I would try to locate the problem and fix it. Especially since Polk dosnt offer this tweeter anymore, you will be stuck with the Silk- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
