My midbass sucks

[MrSplorDie 10+ year member]

I had my Type R 6.5 components installed today and the mid bass response sucks ***, Is it true that sealing the door and using dynomat + defelx pad will help improve my midbass response?

Nope. Components sound better with plastic baffles and holes galore...

Indeed.

I have a 95 Impala and there are alot of openings and holes in the door... would it be better to just dynomat the door or seal up all the holes using plexi glass?

I was trying to avoid this but looks like i'm going to have to do it. My stock 4x6's had better mid-bass response //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Are your components amped, or are they running off hu power?

amped

entirely likely...with more powerful drivers you could easily see a drop in perceived volume due to your door vibrating out of phase with the driver and causing massive cancellation. I noticed this when I first swapped out my rainbow germaniums for power line CS's. If the x-over was set low (60hz or under) the entire door vibrated so badly that it sounded worse than if the x-over was set to ~100hz - and not just due to buzzing and rattling - it just sounded wrong. After proper deadening and sealing of the door, they produce plenty of volume all the way down to 60hz.

This is the exact problem I have!! the bass just seems horrible and is just shaking the door panels!!

True I read the reviews but still they should have better response than my stock 4x6's....

my type r's do not have shitty midbass, he just needs to deaden his doors
