You can make things easier on your ears, and sound relatively lower in volume, by switching the leads on one speaker so they are reversed from the other (i.e. reversing the polarity on one). Then you turn and face the speakers at one another, keeping them about a foot apart.

Basically this results in a huge null effect between the 2 speakers. One driver is going in while the other is going out. You can play them pretty loud and they won't drive your neighbor's batty.

Enjoy,
