I have commissioned NVTHIS to build me a custom cover with integrated grill for the sub. People steal audio equipment if they can see it around here so stealth is key.

Oh and the sound quality is infinitely better than the Bose. Even my wife noticed right away, and could identify that the positioning of the sound stage was much better. She is the kind of person who is excited to get a new pair of free ear buds when I get a new cell phone lol, so the fact she noticed is a very big thing.

If I did it again I think I'd get the better line of Polk components to get the smoother tweets, but I am far far from being unhappy
Looks like you have the db6501's, IIRC there's a switch on the crossover that can adjust the tweets -3/0/+3, make sure it's on -3

Indeed there is, it is currently on 0 db. I'm going to try and tune it with the EQ first, and if it can't get it I'll pop the panels off again and switch to -3 db.
