crappy crossover?

i have a set of diamond CM3 components http://diamondaudio.com/products/pdfs/C ... 052004.pdf and it comes with this crossover than can be used as part of the component set OR as a coaxial setup. it is a very dinky little passive xover and i was just wondering, does this suffice? on some songs, the tweeters seem to distort a little. my friend suggested it might be the quality of the track. im not sure. so my question is basically, is such a small xover hurting my SQ? if so, what do you recommend? thanks.

it may be the slope of the crossover allowing frequencies to bleed throught to the tweeters that they cant play well. so yea getting a better crossover may solve it.

Check E Bay. Sometimes people buy comp sets and dont use the crossovers that come with them :)
