OEM audio +... did i do something wrong?

So I just finished installing the OEM Audio + system in my BRZ. While it certainly sounds better, and the sub is a good addition, I am not very impressed with the new tweeters. Highs like cymbal hits are still a "tshhhh" sound rather than "tssss". For those that have the system, did you notice a big increase in highs clarity?

I noticed the highs sounded bright at first. It'll smooth out after some time.

We have the Reference 400 with the deleted mid, the sound with the new tweeters is clear, very clear.
I should preface it by saying the car is very well insulated with Raammat & Ensolite, not sure how that affects the highs coming from the windshield. The doors hit harder than ever.

hmm... I wonder if mine is less clear because I did not fold the foam material out on the tweeters. the video told you to do that, but I did the install with only the written instructions included with my box and it didn't say anything about folding the tweeter foam

Should be an easy fix
