As others have mentioned you really need the high-pass filter installed. Tweeters cannot handle DC-to-low-frequency signals. It will cause them to overheat and possibly over-travel.

That sounds like amplifier noise. The gain may be set too high on the pre-amp (and/or possibly the amp). Or you may just have a noisy (pre-)amp and the new speakers are reproducing the hiss better.
