20 Odyssey and Focal Integration 165 speakers

[KYRGYZ]

Hi,
Just replaced my stock speakers in my 2020 Odyssey EX-L, sound deadened doors, put speaker adapter, wire adapter and installed Focal Integration 165 speakers, kept OEM tweeters for now... but now those OEM tweeters are doing about 80% of the job, they are loud and new Focal speakers are really quiet and don't even hear them till I bump the volume to 30 (max 35 I believe and my daily volume used to be around 20-25 max). Most importantly I lost mid range sound... I contacted crutchfield (where I bought my speakers) they said my new speakers are not getting wide range signal... and I need to call them... before wasting my time calling them (I had an experience wasting about 20 minutes with no results) I thought I can maybe ask you guys first

Can someone help me or give me any idea what is going on?

My own thought, maybe I reversed polarity? Could that be a reason as well?

Thanks

P.S. I know my sound deadening might not be the best, but this is how I do it and always satisfied Not an SPL show car afterall

no, definitely some kind of messed up signal along with lack of power if all you have is stock head unit power, no aftermarket speaker would enjoy that at all.

Might be like my truck, where the speakers are like 8 ohm stock and when you put 4 ohm or 2 ohm speakers it messes with everything, my installer knee about this issue so added in 47ohm 5 watt resistors or something.. might be your situation. I've read there's other fixes then doing this I think but I think this is best ? He also used a line output converter on mine..doing all this helped me keep factory stereo in my 2019 ram 1500

Mine are 4ohm from the factory (according to crutchfield, since oem speaker don't have any specs on them) so I replaced it with 4ohm speakers as well....
