First off, you must not have looked to hard cause I just found it in about 15 seconds. The sensitivity is on the page you posted (91db) and the power handing is on the attached .pdf and is 15w peak @ 8ohm. Second, those are NOT a good way to go. Just get some stock ones or some actually intended for car use, NOT home use...

Are you sure the tweeters are blown? Those are usually the most durable of all the f-body speakers. It is more likely that the inline high pass filters are fried.

yeah i have the panels off and one sounds worse than the other, and they both barely have any volume or input to the sound i know they only hit the high freq but damn its barely anything. so maybe i should just replace the filters? its just a normal Highpass right, and where are they?

I can get you some inexpensive ones that would go in there. Prices on a decent cheap set are about $10.00 and would sound better then the stock ones. Good ones run about $49.00 and up.
As stated by Whitebird, the stock inline filters tend to be the issue in most cases though. Mine were fried when I bought my T/A and I replaced them with Radioshack inline filters for about $3.00. This was prior to my extensive overhaul of the entire audio system in that car and was merely a quick fix. It does work though and will last assuming no damage was done to the tweeter itself by the distortion that may have been created by the damaged filter.
