So what I didn't mention in the original post was that when I rewired them yesterday, I looked at the schematics I make before I unwired, and it looked out of phase! I was convinced when I originally bi amped the speakers I messed up and they've been out of phase all along!
So when I had everything hooked up last night, they sounded good but something was off. The factory did a full new Mylar job, so I was thinking break in, but in the back of my mind was phase.
We'll turns out my original wiring job and schematics was correct, but damn I keep looking at it physically and it looks wrong. On one speaker, the positive terminal (from the amp) go up the voice coil wiring on the outsides, and one the other it goes on the inside and the ground from the outsides. Maybe in that speaker they put the magnets in backwards!! :D
Anyways I did the test above and also this helpful page helped me.

Also, listening to a straight 600hz tone sucks
