After Market speakers (triton) sound way too harsh

Hey, so i recently decided i wanted to upgrade my honda stock speakers to an aftermarket brand. I have a 12 inch pioneer with a built-in amp which sounds amazing. My honda stock speakers sounded fine the only issue was i wanted to be able to play it a bit louder than what it was at before without it becoming distorting. After going to an audio shop the guy recommended me the Triton SQ 522 series. Right off the bat after installation i noticed how harsh these speakers were. Any song would have my ears ringing. After touching the settings i was able to turn the gain down but they still have that harshness to them. What should i do, i spent a lot of money on this just to not be satisfied ☹️

Below are my amp settings for the sub and the speakers

Pop open the crossover module and try the -3 and -6db switches and see if that doesn't tame things a little. I'd also think you can turn down the crossovers on your amp some. 120hz is too high. Play some bass heavy music and turn those down slowly and either watch the cones or listen for signs of mechanical stress on the low notes then turn it back up a touch after you've reached that point.
