Default My tweeters are too loud!!

I built some mid-high speakers with 2 4" speakers on either side of a tweeter. They sound GREAT if I turn the treble wayyyyy down on my amp. How can I do that passively in the speaker?

I have the 4 mids wired to 4 ohms, then put in parallel with the tweeter.

They are used in loud 'party' situations.

yep, but you need to know upfront how much dB you need to lower the tweeters down
