[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 3256514, member: 573252"] Well, since one speaker is probably half the distance from your ear than the other, it's a good bet you're experiencing about a 3 db gain from your left midbass. For the tweeter it's very likely an axis problem. If the right tweeter is a bit more on-axis to your right ear than your left tweeter is then you'll experience some audible gain in the upper frequency registers of the tweeter (somewhere between 15-20k). That little bit can have a noticeable difference in how you perceive the tweeters response overall. Here's a cheapo suggestion you can try. Get a couple of adjustable L-Pads from Parts Express. One for your midbass and one for your tweeter.

You can try a lower RMS rated L-Pad for your tweeter, but the problem isn't the same for the tweeter. It may help though. [/QUOTE]
