oh nevermind..

it was crappy deck wasn't giving enough juice, and the gain setting on amp was too high..

as soon as i turn it down, tweeter came back on..

deck was defective from the first place anyway..

tweeters were going into protection..yeah the tweeter got protection circuit built in according to specs..

i am gonna get new headunit..

i am gonna grab new headunit..
