First you need to troubleshoot the source of the problem. Check your connections at both ends to make sure they are tight. If the connections are not the problem, reverse the speaker cables; feed the right channel with the left cable and vice versa.  If the receiver is at fault, the problem will move to the other speaker.

 

Speakers should play for 20 years with no issues assuming they have not been abused. How loud are you playing the system? Overdriving (clipping) the amp causes distortion, which is the most common cause of tweeter damage. 

 

If the tweeter has been damaged, repair is fairly simple, just unscrew the tweeter from the baffle and remove the clips connecting it to the crossover, install the new one. The manufacturer should  be able to supply a replacement for not much money. If not, you can ask for help at diyAudio.com. 

If the problem stays with the speaker when you swap amplifier channels, there is one other step you should take. If the tweeter is easily removed, you should swap it between speakers. If the problem follows the tweeter, the tweeter is bad. If it stays with the speaker,

there is probably a bad capacitor in the crossover and the crossover will need repair/replacement.
