full range's sound too bright

Hello,

Here is my setup:

(4) EX 572a in factory locations in a 94 merc cougar.
Blaupunkt Muechen HU
RF Power 400a4
Alpine Type R 12" Sub

The amp is powering the front to ex572a's, and is powering the alpine by bridging the back two channels.

I have things crossed over at about 70-80, and the gain on the full ranges at about 3/4, and around 3/4 on the sub.

The problem is that when I use any volume at all.....the 572a's just hurt my ears. The midbass is nice, but the tweeters produce a very bright harsh sound. The one resolve that I have found is to lower the treble on the HU to -1. This in turn takes away some of the SQ of the full ranges.

Is this what I should expect from these 572a's or is there something else that I can try, or that I have done wrong? Thanks!
