That is an awesome link, but what if you have no idea what 3/4 volume is? Like the stock radio. It turns and turns. How can you tell what 3/4 volume is on a radio that does not tell you.

turn the head unit up until you hear distortion, turn it down slightly, then set the gains from that point.

Where is you current tweeter location for the fronts?
If you mounted the tweeter and woofer using a baffle plate in the door where the orginal BOSE were , it is possible that the tweeter is actually covered up by the door trim ( if the tweeter is mounted high up on the plate. That would make it sound dull and flat. The tweeter needs to be mounted low on the baffle plate near the woofer OR mount the tweeter elsewere. There are many post on tweeter mounting elsewhere one the door or dash/pillar area.
Good Luck.
