So maybe I was just too quick to "judge" them?
I think I will lower the gains on the amp for these channels, per JL - and see how things go. I don't want to risk damaging anything if I turn the system up too loud - especially since I actually felt the need to reduce the midbass level a little now anyway. I'm kind of curious what kind of level difference I'll see when I lower the gains per JL's recommendations (measured levels).
