ha, i think snoopdan has got the idea people. No, i will most likely just go by new tweeters when i get some time. And i think i will re-wire them in parallel with the fronts if that will make the diffrence. I would really like to try and avoid putting another amp in just to drive them if i can.Im not looking for ear piercing highs, just a little more imaging in contrast to the 12" sub i just poped in ( that has yet to be hooked up,still waiting on amp). Hopefully this will all work out and i will have it soundsing decent.

If this is a Bose system where the speakers have their own seperate amplifiers, the tweeters need to be run in parallel from the speakers amplifier. Not from the wires coming the head unit.
Vice versa if the head unit does the amplification.
A 1 ohm amp can easily handle a little extra 4 ohm load from a tweeter. You will still be getting your 25 watts.
25 watts is NOT enough power to blow out a 3500 hz base blocker. Use them. I don't recall reading if they were even tried yet.
Your noise is coming the tweeter trying to reproduce frequencies below it's capability as already stated.
FWIW
