My CTX65CS are lacking bass!

[mjbailey21 10+ year member]

Hey All-

Tried to research and look it up but I don't really know how to "search" for this question. Maybe you can help me.

I recently purchased a Sax 125.2 to go with a pair of Image Dynamics 65CTXcs. The headunit is a Pioneer 450UB (or something similar).

Only problem is, I can't figure out how to get some bass out of the speakers. I know these aren't subs, but I have no lows! The highs sounds good and mids sound pretty good but I am lacking lows/beats!

On the amp, I set it to "full" instead of HPF or LPF. What else am I supposed to do?

Thanks to all who help.

How low are you looking, shouldnt be playing any less than like 70 so i think your expecting too much.

How are they installed.

Sealing door holes and sound deadener helps mid bass a bunch. More tham anything else you could do.

I would set the amp to 60 if you have subs.

I'm actually working on a paper right now, so I haven't done anything yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif.

I think it is something to do with the radios HPF settings, as well as a few people telling me I should look into that as well..

I well let you all know if that doesn't work out!

Still can't seem to figure it out, I've changed the HPF like the OMG guy above told me to do but that didn't help much.

Doors holes sealed and deadened with Damp Pro. 3/4" MDF rings and non hardening clay. About the only thing I did not do that was done on this thread http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95925 was to add the foam behind the mid.
