Not exactly related to Fi....

Picture of how you have the crossovers hooked up... and what are you powering them with.

Are you running them off head unit power?

Maybe a moderator could move this to the correct section, too

i have the crossovers wired right and off the aftermarket deck but im not sure on the wiring going through my doors and into speaker cause it changes wiring but im not sure if i just put the negative and positive different

Head unit power...first problem right there.

What you're hearing is a lack of dynamic range, you simply don't have enough undistorted power to get as loud as you want. Get an external amp capable of 50-100W per channel and you'll noticed a night and day difference.

Swapping the negative & postive will just put those speakers 180 degrees out of phase with the others, or if you do it to both crossovers, you have just done nothing.
