Polk Audio db6501s too harsh what can I do?

I'm using Monster speaker wire, pretty thick gauge...and the tweeters are mounted up high closer to the ear so i think that is the main problem...

I think the main problem is that the tweeters are seperated from the mids and they sound harsher when the volume is up for that reason and i do not have the technology to limit them. The tweeter pods are aimed at the opposite window so that is helping but I think they are too far apart from the mids and too close to the ear....I just cannot adjust for this. I started building some kick-panels for this reason but have decided to hold off because I cannot build baffles to save my life and i'll leave it for when I have more time.
My question now is, is there any way that I can wire a resistor or something to turn down the volume of the tweeters even more than what the crossover can do for me. I do not know how a crossover turns down the volume as I do not know enough about the mechanics of sound and electricity. I want to do this also without buying a new headunit or sound processor right now...maybe in the future as I'm buying some new subs. So if someone wants to educate me on how I could go about doing this or if there is a cheap product out there then let me know...
Thanks guys...

you could wire in a veriable resistor that way you can sort of fine tune the resistance. cut the + wire to the tweeter and wire it though the resistor

Sounds good but what is a 100k ohm pot and if you could just go into a little more detail about how I should wire it in there...
