Default New Tweeter Problems

Hey everyone. I just installed some Polk Audio db1001 tweeters today. These were a major upgrade from my cheaper Rockford Fostgate tweeters. With my new tweeters, I ran into some problems that my Rockfords didn't have.

Problem 1: The tweeters now have a crackle every time the bass drops. This is something my rockfords never did. I have a feeling its cause I didn't install what I think are the bass blockers which are shown on the attached image.

Problem 2: There is a slight white noise sound in the background. When there is no music and the volume is turned up, you can really hear it. Even when playing something, it can be faintly heard. I think its called ground loop noise?

Please let me know any fixes to these issues. Thanks!
