Infinity speakers sound bad

I pulled the trigger and bought infinity reference speakers for my 2019 Ram 2500 Bighorn. My stereo is the 8.4 touchscreen 6 speaker base package. I’m not happy with the sound, to me it the treble and mid’s are really over powering. So much it makes my ears ring. Before I send these back does anyone have any suggestions. I’m doing this on my own and really don’t want to do any cutting/rewiring. If it has to come to that then I’ll just take it to a stereo shop.
 
the factory speakers are very good i find its the stock head unit output that sucks
 
I'm unclear on what your unhappy with, the stock speakers or the infinity speakers? Also did you replace all speakers with the infinity reference? I'm going through upgrading with my truck and have found the system has a weird setup.

The two dash speakers are 8ohms, and the 4 door speakers are 2 ohms.

If you replaced all 6 speakers with 4ohm infinity speakers, your two dash speakers are now going to be way louder since they have less resistance and will over power your door speakers which now have less output because you increased the resistance at the door speakers.

I took a set of chrysler specific kicker upgrade front speakers (77KICK28AB) out of my 2015 ram and swapped them into this truck. Replaced the dash speakers with 4ohm tweeters, and the front door speakers with 4ohm kicker midrange woofers. Left the rear doors as 2 ohms factory. This did make the dash a little brighter than stock but it actually sounded pretty good, my only gripe was the factory rear door speakers couldn't handle the Bass at high volume.

I just put a set of 4ohm Kenwood's in the rear doors and while they're clearer, it really hurt the sound output. So I ordered a set of powerbass 2ohm 6x9's to swap in so I can return the Kenwood's and I'll see how that goes.
 
My problem seems to be the same as you have explained. I put the factory dash speakers back in and it calmed down the treble and mids, but It’s still to “bright” for me. I am doing some research and it seems I may need to add a PAC AmpPRO 4 Amplifier Integration Interface. Looks like this thing will clean up the signal issues from head unit, but then I will have to add in an amplifier to run my speakers. Maybe something I have to take to a stereo shop so I don’t mess it up.

So the impedance of the speaker is different between 4 gen and 4.5 gen? Is that why kit 77KICK28AB doesn't show that it will fit the new truck?
I have the Uconnect 8.4 and basic speakers also.
 
I recently added the Infinity reference 3032s to my front dash corners. It brightened up the highs for me which is what I wanted. I did have to fade to back more though. I have the Alpine system in my 2020.
