I saw what is probably the most comprehensive tweeter protection ever, in an Infinity with an EMIT tweeter. Fuse, then a bulb, THEN Zener diodes paralled across the tweeter, to SHUNT OFF excess input. If you get steady-state slight overload, the bulb lights up. If you get sudden BANG in the input... the zeners go conducive, SHORT the line, and the fuse blows!
Don't think I'd want to hear what that sounds like at high volume (could be one of the reason I find some Infinity speakers to be lacking in dynamic range, with the "compression" via the zeners and the bulb), but I pretty much guarantee, it's going to SIGNIFICANTLY EXTEND the lifespan of the tweeter!!
