[QUOTE="eradicator006, post: 6819019, member: 583214"] I knew the new speakers wouldn't have as much bass as stock but didn't think it would be this bad. I've read a few reviews on the same speakers I have and they all said they put out decent bass. It's hard to explain what is going on. If I am parked and turn the volume high enough, I get some bass. I can really feel it in the arm rest on the door. If I am driving, there is virtually no bass to be heard. I'm beginning to think some sound deadener on the doors will help. I'm also realizing that the tweeters could be drowning out the mids. The tweeters are mounted high up in the dash just under the windshield. Even with the tweeters set to -3db, they are still too loud. I'll have to do some experimenting on the tweeter placement. They might be better mounted in the doors on the same axis as the mids. I never though components would be so difficult to get to sound decent. I might be better off ditching the passive crossovers and going active. [/QUOTE]
