Hi folks, i just put in two in cieling polk speakers on my main floor. I have them wired to a volume control and the volume control to my amp (onkyo). They produce great sound but I have to crank my amp right up to get the volume high enough on the speakers. When I do this the volume control vibrates as I am guessing it is putting to much power through. I have connected the two speakers to front left and front right. I was a little confused at the start as the volume controls were ran with one red, black, green, and blue wires but I am quite sure they are hooked up properly as they are producing sound. SHould I connect these speakers any differently to my receiver or is this an issue with the receiver. Thanks. so much.

    The speakers are LCI 60's and the amp is rated for 8 ohms. They seem to be working better lately when I have turned the inteli volume up on the amp I dont have to crank it up so high. I may be justed used to my Pioneer amp downstairs where I am running LCI 80's and the amp has a different volume setting.
