Is it too late to cancel the order?

Just sell the otherone and get yourself an Image Dynamics IDQ 12 and call it a day. They're relatively inexpensive (especially when compared to JL) and sound incredible.

Your stock speakers were dual voice coil with the 2 coils driven independantly from the Monsoon Amp. If you hooked both pairs if wires to your 6W0, that's probably your mistake. You only want to use the inputs for one of the stock voice coils. I don't think it matters which one.
