What kind of car is this. I had blown a couple of subs in my Honda due to the speed sensing volume compensation, which turns up the volume while the car is in motion. Even with the gains set properly you could still blow things due to clipping. I didn't even know it was a think until it was too late.... twice. Just a thought...
This will take out midbass drivers like nothing.
Especially if you accelerated from like 75 to 95.

This could be anything. But most likely improperly setting of the gain structure.
Something as simple as applied eq boost after level matching the amplifier. 3 db will do it with a tweeter on high power amp like either of two you mentioned.

regardless of how well you think you installed these tweeters, and set the gains and crossovers, they are blowing for 1 reason, too much heat on the voice coil. Raise the XO point, increase the slope, and turn the gain down.
I hate when people say literally. But....
This is literally the only thing that "blows" voice coil.
Either the tweeters are too loud. Too much heat.
Or they are crossed over too low.
That's it.
Too hot or it moves too much.
