Shrill/harsh tweeters

Hey everyone, I just installed a new set of 2 way components (JBL GTO 609C) and the Alpine KTP 445U to replace the factor doors and fronts, and the tweeters are very harsh. Female vocals are particularly bad. It's pretty unpleasant and fatiguing to listen to after only a few minutes. I've tried re-aiming them so they weren't bouncing off the windshield so much, and I've tried reversing the phasing, but neither helped much. I've searched around various internet destinations, and was looking at getting an L pad to try and attenuate them, but I'm worried that would end up making things muddy since I only have the tweets and the doors, no mid. I've been able to EQ out the worst of it, but I've run out of adjustment. Never thought I'd miss the factor system.
