It sounds like the smaller pair is less efficient (won't play as loud with same input power) Or, the amp powering the bass module is less powerful.
Either way, you can use a speaker switcher with independent volume for each pair so you can balance their outputs. Or, depending on electronics you can use 2 separate power amps, one for each set but at least one amp will need gain control in order to balance the output of the speakers.
But if balancing the speakers it may not be the best way because you then limit the louder pair, so you may want to use the louder pair and call it a day.
I suppose a simple way as well would be to use what is called a Lpad, same as a volume control basically for the louder pair to attenuate the sound.
A lot depends on how you are driving the speakers and the area you are trying to cover. For instance, if using a HT receiver they often have features to drive a 2nd set of speakers in another room or area.
If you don't deal with the difference in output between the two it really won't matter where you place them because as you stated, you can't really hear the smaller ones. So what's the best benefit, 4 speakers to spread the sound out, or one set of speakers that plays the loudest?
