Are your tweeters splits or are they running solely off an amp?

Is there any noise coming out of the mids that are also connected to the tweeters or is it just the tweeters?

hi all thanks for your help and suggestion's, but we fixed the problem,
It was a faulty eq/crossover that was causing the noise.
now have upgraded to the alpine cde-9881i deck so i can get 3 pre outs to repace the need of a eq/crossover.

so all is sweet now


many thanks

So it was the Fusion that was the problem? What was the other head unit?
