tweeters and woofers at same gain level?

That could explain it, though it's not the case according to Scott Buwalda:

The stock crossover is not very good. A lot of people find tweeter a little bright. The first order high pass also means the tweeter plays a bit too much of upper mid-range frequencies. I find the stock setup fatiguing.

Unfortunately, my hearing is poor above 6K so I barely notice my Imagine tweets at all especially off axis low in the doors.

I based my hunch on their impedance on the 2.2uF hipass cap and the 6 kHz published spec. People assume that component tweeters are 4 ohms which is not always true. Next time I have my doors apart I think I'll measure them.
