No sound coming from tweeter

[Forty six and two]

The "woofer" as you call it, covers bass AND midrange. Thousands of speakers are two-way (one bass/mid driver; one tweeter). For mechanical reasons most tweeters don't work below a certain frequency, so for a two-way speaker, the bass/mid driver is doing 99% of the sound for vocals (as well as the bass guitar and kick drum) with the tweeter supplying the ttttttt and ssssss parts of the vocal (as well as the initial sound from cymbals).

Again what about the klipsch speaker, how come its tweeter play every sound not just t and s ? As far as i know their speaker dont have a mid range driver.

Again, you don't seem to be reading previous posts...
It all depends on the speaker model and at what frequency the crossover was made.

Big fan of Tool. I would read this first then come back with questions.

What speakers you have?

Protection capacitors in my DSP-based multichannel multi-SP-driver multi-amplifier fully active stereo audio project:

- The purposes of the "protection capacitors" are not for crossover, but for protection of the SP drivers from accidental/unintentional intrusion of very-low Fq (or even DC) signals which highly possibly would damage/destroy the SP drivers. #890

- Overhaul maintenance of super-tweeter FOSTEX T925A and further signal fine tuning thereafter: #485

- Renewal of SP cabling boards beside SP systems: #906

So your tweeters play all the sound including vocals?

The Request is a 2 way with a very low crossover frequency (180 Hz): a 12" dynamic woofer and an electrostatic panel, which is much larger than a dynamic tweeter and hence can reproduce the major part of the audible spectrum of music.

A typical 2-way speaker (one with a tweeter and a woofer) crosses the tweeter to the midwoofer usually somewhere between 1500 to 4000hz. When you don't have a midrange, the midrange is divided between the tweeter and the woofer - lower going to the woofer, higher to the tweeter. You don't need a midrange driver to reproduce midrange.

So to speak, yes.

Wow these book beautiful. How do they sound? Mainly for rock music? Or heavy metal
