[QUOTE="thisisausername, post: 1402124, member: 565137"] I just install my seas ca18's into the stock location in the door. The highs are crisp thanks to my new tweeters and my mids are loud and clear. The problem is, my bass is nearly non existant, def. worse than stock! My ca18's are being fed 55 watts each and they have much flatter response curves than the stock speakers! I must have messed something up with the install. the only thing bad I noticed is that the stock speakers were sealed to the door, and my new ones are raised up on spacers for clearance issues. They are far from sealed(1.5 cm air gap all the way around). Is this whats killing my midbass? What else can I do to improve midbass?
