you should've went with a 4 channel and bridge to the mids and just run the tweets of the hu.

that way you get individual gain/level for each mid, and the tweets can be balance with "balance" on the HU.

Move your slope to 24 after setting the cutoff. You should hear the difference. I know I do on mine. Then you can play with different slopes for hte sound you want.
