Is there an instruction booklet that came with the speakers? It should show different wiring options. If you don't have the instructions, you might try looking it up on the Polk website, see if they have the manual posted online.

For non bi-amped input as you have you need to use the tweeter inputs and keep the switch on the crossover set for single input. There should have been a sticker on the crossover. You also might want to set as -3db on the crossover setting. I have the same setup and they are plenty bright at -3db down.
