Hello Scott, I have installed the components since the rear speakers are a pain to get out and tried it. I know what you mean now. I have directed the tweeters as per the instructions so the left tweeter is aimed at the passenger and the right one at the driver. Now it is true that I can only hear the high frequencies and nothing in relation to base...
Not all hope is lost, found this on the internet :
Q: What's the advantage of choosing component speakers for my car?
A: With a properly powered set of matched components, you'll get better imaging and a much more detailed and dynamic sound than you could expect from conventional speakers.
Mounting the separate tweeter closer to your ears optimizes your speakers' imaging and brings out a level of detail you may have never heard before. The premium-quality woofers deliver forceful, dynamic bass and midrange, while the separate crossover networks will properly routing your highs and lows to protect your tweeters and make your system sound its best. As a rule, component speakers generally require an external amplifier to really come alive.

Q: My new component speakers aren't living up to my expectations. What's wrong?
A: Here are a few tips to get your component speakers sounding their best:
Check the crossover setting — many think that a flat setting for the tweeters is the way to go, but you'll often find that you need to attenuate the highs to counteract too much brightness
Are you feeding them enough power? With most sets of components running them off your receiver just can't give them enough power to operate properly. Remember, underpowering your speakers is more dangerous than overpowering them.
Like a good sub, speakers need time to break in.
Are you getting rattles and vibrations? Check your mountings — you may benefit from installing foam baffles and Dynamat in your doors. Keep in mind, you've created new openings for the tweeters as well.
So will go home and get more dBs into the lower frequencies and less in the high since this is what I experience.
My car radio is a Sony MEX-BT4100U so it gets 52W x 4 at 4 Ohms. The speakers are 4 Ohms. So the impedance is fine. Will keep you posted.
