Time for New Speakers?

[Knowmadic 10+ year member]

So I just tried a few final touches on my doors to see if they would finally give me the midbass kick that I am aiming for but my efforts were in vain. I have JBL MS-62c's in the doors with fiberglass insulation in the door, sealed doors with 1 layer of Murdermat 80mil and 1 layer of Dynamat 60mil with a speaker baffle. What more can/should I try or is it just time for new speakers? At medium-high volumes (above my usual listening preference) they sound amazing but around the middle volume they don't sound too hot. They are being powered by Alpine PDX-F4 and a Pioneer 80PRS headunit. If it's time for new speakers what do you guys suggest? Should I go 3 way with a dedicated midbass? Thanks.

I don't see why those aren't kicking in sealed doors.

Sure your running enough power to them?

They are rated for 80RMS, the PDX is giving 100RMS. Voltage is at idle 12.8 and while driving 13.5+, says my 80prs

Let me ask, is that reading accurate, i'm running the prs and I wonder. I didn't know if that's what that was.

well, what are you're crossover settings. They aren't crossed to high are they

The mid HPF is 80hz with 12db/oct. The amplifier for the fits has the filter set to "off". I think it is generally acurate. +/- .2

So above you're listening, loud, they sound amazing, Burr at you're regular listening level do they just.... Not hit as hard?... What is is you don't like.

Put it on your usual listening level and try going up on the gains
