Right side louder than left side? Help please.

[cleanerupper 10+ year member]

I have Boston Pro60's hooked up to a JL 300/4 amp and the right side is louder than the left side. It is to the point where I have to adjust the head unit balance about 1/3 of the way to the left.

Is there any way to fix this without having to adjust the balance on my head unit?

phasing?

or could just be that the passenger side speaker is in better alignment with your ear

Well I've double checked the phasing and they are all wired the same way.

And as far as being in alignment with my ear I don't think that's the case either because when I sit on the passenger side with the balance at 0 all I can hear is the passenger side.

But when I'm in the drivers seat with the balance at 0 I can hear like 30% driver side 70% passenger side.

iif the amp is bridged are the gains matched correctly?

Well I have the Front L+R going to each tweeter and the Rear L+R going to each woofer. 75 watts RMS to each tweeter and 75 watts RMS to each woofer.

There are 2 gains, one for the front and one for the rear. So I don't see how one side could be louder than the other.

try unhooking the tweeters, and then unhooking the woofers, and try and pinpoint which speaker(s) are louder

and try playing with the tweeter phasing, much like subwoofer phasing, there's not necessarily a right or wrong tweeter phasing, it may help to pull the sound back to the drivers side if you invert the phasing of one of the tweets

Ok I'll try playing around with the phasing. Where would go about doing the phase reversal? At the amp?

ya, just try + to - on one tweet, then the other tweet, then both....

see if the volume difference is in the woofers as well, tho, it's possible one's not sealed as well as the other or something odd like that
