L Pad questions

[NickA1976]

I'm trying to tweak the padding on my tweeters. I started withe the 1.5 ohm resistor (original x-over spec). However, the tweeters sounded way too bright and harsh ("S's" in voices hissed). So, I swapoed them out for 2 ohm resistors. It helped by removing the harshness but to my ears they are still too bright. I'm assuming the resistor on this x-over (see pic) is for the padding? I'm looking for a smoother warmer sound without all the bright. My thoughts are to play with higher values like 2.5 ohm or 3 ohm to see what I like best. The tweeters are Dayton RS28F silk domes. Whats the difference between this padding resistor in this crossover compared to L Pads that use 2 resistors?
btw, I used Audyn Q4 metal caps, Could the be causing the brightness? Thanks for any help

When I originally created this thread, it somehow made 2 or 3 duplicates. I recently deleted the duplicates but I accidently deleted the main one...my fault. Everyones suggestions helped, I'll post some updates later today

Tweeter padding:
i took everyone's advice to put resistors "before" the tweeter crossover to tone it down. After experimenting with several values (from 1.2 to 15) and hours of listening, 6 ohms is what sounds best. It sounds way better. Without the resistor in front, it sounded down right horrible! (The highs were screaming and harsh).

Foam:
I also took the advice to put foam inside the internal midrange enclosure. The mids simply sound better (not sure how to describe the difference but it just does).
