This is not the best solution but you can try this for an immediate temporary solution.....
Take any one box, and continue.
1) Arrange for some AC capacitors of 2-4-6-8-10 micro-farad values.
2) Arrange for some lamp cords. Connect it directly but separately to the 604's woofer & horn terminals, and bring them out thru the vent opening. Then strech them to a distance of around 10feet, so that you can sit & listen from a comfortable distance.
3) Bring out a similar connection from your amp-output to the same spot.
4) Take the GPA crossover, and connect the amp-cable to its amplifier marked terminals.
5) Now connect the woofer to the X-Over's woofer-output.
6) Do not connect the horn now.
7) Play some known music
8) Now start by
shorting the woofer (across both the connection points) with a high value capacitor say 10mfd, and see how much of the shouty-ness has reduced. If too much reduced then use the next lower value.....and go on like that till you reach a position that you like.
9) Now while the woofer stays connected with the chosen capacitor......Connect the horn to the GPA X-Over's horn terminals....and listen.....to the whole thing...and try to asses if any further amount of that shouty-ness is now added due to the horn.
If you feel so, then disconnect only the +ve wires of the horn, and insert a cap (highest value)
in series....and listen......if still shouty....then try with a lower value cap.....and continue till you get what you want.
Once you reach a suitable spot, copy the connections to the other box and listen in totality.
Hope this will be of some help and make you carry on with your project
