After absolutely loving my new (component) speakers-- last week 1 of my tweeters quit tweeting 
So I pulled off the door panel and noticed condensation on the crossover.
Unhooked it, disassembled it, gave it a good cleaning & relocated it to the interior kick panel.
Tried out the tweeter again but to no avail.
Well now the other tweeter quit.
So obviously I F'd up & sent a low-pass signal to them while adjusting my amp. Very noobish
So (before I figured that out) I bought a new pair of X-overs & decided to rebuild from scratch.

What do you think of those Mid-Range options?
What would you recommend for Tweeters?
Before you say it... I know "go active, passive's for *****'s" but that'll be down the road.
What do you think about my amp?
How would YOU adjust the amp settings?
