Just got done tuning my system, did I blow a tweeter?

Pioneer F700BT
ID CTX65S Components powered by an Arc Audio FD2200 amp
2 Pioneer TS-SW124D subs powered by an Alpine MRD-M605 amp

I followed the guide from here:http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Ampli...ing_(Tutorial). I set the crossover on the components amp to 65hz and the lp crossover on the sub amp to about 80hz.

After tuning the speakers using that guide, everything sounds great except for the right passenger tweeter, which has a lot of static and crackling coming from it. I'm pretty new to all this, so the first thing I'm thinking is I've screwed something up big, is this tweeter done, or is there some setting I should tweak?

its probally fried if you played a sine wave through it for a while like that site said to they get hot quick playing sine waves and then go pop.

I'm actually just a big tard and wasn't paying attention, one of the wires was lose, even though it looked like it was plugged in, when i pulled a little, it came right out of the crossover. All is well and everything sounds great.

Nice catch. When I ran those components, I found them much happier crossed at 80hz/12dB.
