2) They sound very clear but seem to be lacking punch. I just read somewhere else on here that I may have wired them in reverse polarity. The stock wiring is red/silver green/silver. I assumed red silver was positive and green silver was negative. From what i read it is the opposite. That may be why I am lacking punch. If anyone else can confirm stock wiring polarity that would be swell.

correct me if i'm wrong,
the three models...Kappa Perfects Series, Kappa Series, Reference Series...the Kappa Perfects are the only ones that's 4ohms? The other two are 2ohms which is optimum with the factory amp.

It looks like it should be Green (+); Red (-).
Let me know if it's better afterwards. I am also considering replacing my door speakers. Thanks!
