I have 2 tweeters(power acoustic)that I added to my sound system through 1passive crossover (alpine) and notice they get very hot when running at high levels I belive the tweeters are getting to much power what can I use inline to step down this power???

you had your tweets wired in parallel, which was drawing a LOT more power from your amp. Additonally, if I remember correctly), putting a 2 ohm load on a 4 ohm passive crossover will halve its xover freq. That means the tweeter is playing down to around 1 KHz or less ... really low freq's for a small tweeter.

not much, given the equipment you have. The only real cure is to either take the tweets off and get a seperate amp for them OR build a set of passives to account for the lower impedance.

Sounds right to me, not much else he can really do.
