You bought a PA speaker. FS is ~175hz, so I wouldn't expect any response below ~250hz. High frequencies will be piercing due to cone break up because the cone is not well damped (see 100db sensitivity). Per Rockville's website it should come with bass blockers.

On the Mfr. website, it shows they are pre-wired with a 28uf cap on them. That would be a 6db high pass filter and will prevent most any program material below 1400hz from getting through. It's a midrange, not a mid-bass speaker. Add a .05mH coil to create an 8.3 octave 6db bandpass midrange crossover. This diagram has a different value for the cap, not an issue. You can use the cap you have, add the .1 to .05mh coil to each mid's existing cap and you'll pull the top down.
Here is the coil you'll need.

Yes it has prewired base blockers but I'm still not sure how to fix my problem with the highs being extremely loud and terrible sounding
???
I gave you a diagram, I would add a .1mh coil to the inline positive lead before the cap, it'll roll things off the top end and most likely eliminate the highs you're talking about.

Use the existing cap, and add the coil before the cap.

A powerful EQ could do the trick - a 31 band or 10 band parametric. IMHO, you're better off avoiding PA style speakers in the car audio environment.
Seriously, I would return them and buy some decent 2-way or 3-way speakers. You won't be sorry. Good luck.
For $49 more than you paid for those, you could have got these. There a steal at $99, about $150 off the regular price.
