Allowing you to hear just one.  The result is midbass.  True for home, pro, and car audio.Over the past two decades I have heard a lot of complaints that the aftermarket speakers have less bass than factory.  The cause is always seals.  The factory speaker will perfectly seal against the door panel, essentially using the door panel as the front baffle.  Airtight is the key.  I put foam on the front and rer of every door speaker to recreate those seals.</blockquote>
