Tweeters require crossover?

Is this a joke?

If not, how did you connect the speaker wires, one + and one -, to two drivers in the component set?

Find a place for those crossovers and use them promptly.  The glovebox is an easily accessible and out-of-the-way place...and hope like hell you didn't already trash those tweeters.

Can you educate me for a second.  Why do you need a crossover for components and not normal speakers with the tweeter built on it? It's all the same equipment correct? but  just the tweeter physically separate from the woofer?  I've seen speakers where you can unscrew the tweeter and it becomes seperates.  Would a crossover then be required when making the speakers separates?

jquest03, a "normal speaker with a tweeter built on it" DOES have a crossover.  It's not a very good one, and that's being generous, but it's there.  It's a very tiny capacitor underneath the tweeter that separates the tweeter from the woofer.  It selects the frequency range that can be sent to the tweeter, and in this case, it's a first-order crossover at 6 db/octave.  The woofer is not provided with anything, just the tweeter, and that's because the tweeter is so sensitive to receiving low frequency source material.  It's the ultimate basic.

In a component set, depending upon manufacturer and level, the crossover provides a higher quality separation of frequencies to the woofer and tweeter.  A second-order crossover is used whereby the frequencies to the tweeter are cut (or sloped) at 12 db/octave instead of 6 db.  This provides greater protection to the sensitive tweeter from damaging low frequencies.  In this crossover, the woofer as well is protected from having to extend its frequency range up into tweeter territory. The result is better overall output from the woofer. 

By not utilizing the crossover, you provided the tweeter with the full range of frequencies that were meant for the combination of woofer and tweeter.  That is the quickest and surest way to destroy a tweeter.
