also some tweeters like quarts are a little bright for tweeters. i don't know about yours, but you might consider attenuating the tweeters if there is an adjustment on the crossovers for it. try setting them down about -3 or -6 db if your crossovers have that adjustment.
my guess is they are probably a little bright anyway based on what you said.

sometimes the hiss sound is very noticable that i forgot i was listening a CD 
the crossover is supposed to be adjustable which is not clearly explained on the infinity manual. but for gain control, should i set it higher or lower?

the jumper can be as small as a pencil eraser or smaller. if there is one you will need tweezers or a small pliers to remove it.
