The standard tweeters have a small capacitor attached which acts as a "bass blocker" come makeshift crossover.
With your FLI speakers you need to use the crossover as it'll seperate bass and treble. Bass and midrange to your bigger lower door speaker and treble to your tweeter.
Because you're not using the crossover you're sending bass to the tweeter - clearly it can't play it, hence cracking/distortion and you'll damage them by leaving it like that.
The split wiring is same top and bottom, full range wiring, no crossover in place, hence you need run one of the two split wires into the input of your crossover then two lots of wires out - one to woofer, one to tweeter, crossover will be labelled which is which
