Default Fitted components,Tweeters worked but then stopped

Hi,
lastweekend i fitted infinity 16.5cm speakers and seperate tweeters. All was well and they sounded very good untill lastnight the tweeters on both drivers and passangers side stoped working at the same time..... weird...

The speakers and tweeters are connected via the stock wiring.. im confused.....

Is there a stock crossover for the tweeters that may have died?

Thanks in advance!

No i didnt, I just used the wires for the old tweeters and the wires for the old speakers to drive the new ones.

you've blown both the tweeters then, if a speaker set comes with crossovers they must be used as like in your case you will break something, time to buy a new set.

That was going to be my next guess! The std subaru tweaters have Bass blockers (resistors) built in to protect them. When you fitted the Infinity items the tweeters were trying to reproduce the full range of sound.
