How to tell if I blown the tweeter?

I think one of them sounds a little quiet compared to the other. My girlfriend thinks they both sound about the same and that I should stop crying about it. But to me it does sound quieter with less high frequency and more hissing. When the front components are going everything does sound ok tho.

Suggestions?

Tweeters when blown will usually do nothing. The voice coils are tiny and break easy. If it crackles or cuts in and out thats the voice coil burning or shorting. If its just quieter than the other one its probally just your ears. Hint: Try sitting in the other seat and seeing if the same side sounds quieter or the opposite side.
