You're on track.. You need a very flat and stable mount (faceboard), everything clean, cood connections and enough power to push the driver. That'll get you started.. Ron

You guys are talking about what is called "the sensitivity" of the driver. The higher the sensitivity, the more volume is produced for the same input. It's measured in sound pressure level per watt at 1 meter. This is one of the factors that has to be matched properly in a multi-driver system. Just buying expensive speakers does not mean they will sound good.
The OP mentioned a buzzing sound. I have seen (heard) this when dirt gets into the spider and when the baskets are warped from being installed on non-flat surfaces.
It might also happen if you drive the amp into clipping (this chops the tops off the wave patterns when the output stage is overdriven). Thought usually this is sort of a popping sound, it's hard to describe. A bad impedence mismatch between the driver and the amp can aggravate this.
If you can hook up the drivers to a different HU, you can at least see where the problem is.
I know this didn't really go anywhere, but hope it helps..
