I ended up buying another quart of paint at 100.00 and shot them again on Sunday.
Much better paint job now!

Matt black color looks good. Was the paint 2- component or just one? Or did you use matt-paste with the paint? Car paint, or something else? What kind of amplication and source are you going to use? Please write how it sounds when you have them finished and used sometime.
Midrange was very distorted.. Had to take apart mid cab and add two gaskets to the driver. Still not very good. 🙁 But better than first listen.
More later.

Midrange seems very pushed back. My wife came home late last night and said it was hard to understand voices on TV. Meh...
I hope this is not the nature of the beast. Eeks.

Sounds like something is wrong.
To start with, I'd hook each speaker up individually to see if the problem is only on one side. If it's on both sides then my guess is a wiring fault. Make sure you have the drivers wired up with the correct polarity (correct may mean reverse polarity). Also check the crossover for wiring faults.
If the fault is only on one side you can swop parts with the working speaker until you find the fault.
Good luck.
Kind of hoping something is wrong.
Everything is interconnected with Neutrik so it's easy to troubleshoot at least.

Pretty hard for anyone but Wayne to help since you aren't supposed to post schematics, but did you try flipping the woofer polarity? IIRC the 2226 is a JBL where black=positive..
