run bass blockers on them to filter out the low bass just go to a car stereo shop and ask them what to get they will help you pick the right bass blockers ( i assume your running the highs off your head unit)

man still need bass blockers and your heead unit would put about that out if its 4 channel but you can adjust better with an amp (i bet it gets hot) also how many rca preouts do you have (amplifier outs) two i hope. (four total inputs)
