Too muc h bass?

[Jt321 10+ year member]

Just got my components in and a U.S. acoustics usx2100 in. Well when i listen to rock it sounds awesome and loud, but once i listen to rap and r&b it sounds like crap, the bass is to powerful for the speakers to handle and it sounds like its gonna explode. But when i try to turn it down it gets good again but now its to quiet to hear. Any ideas on how i could make my bass calm down a bit? I also tried messing with the EQ on the deck but it didnt do much, and my gain is about 3/4 the way up.

My setup is:

U.S. Acoustics USX2100

Alpine CDA-9815

Cdt cl-61

If they are 6.5's set the crossover between 80 and 100 hz.
