Very Discouraging

My $100 Pioneer 6x9's in a sealed box running off a head unit have 100x more mid bass then my Alpine type X pros getting 125 RMS a piece mounted in my doors. Is this simply because of the 6x9's being in a sealed box or what? Thanks I am definately looking into the GTI JBL componets with the crossover the size of an amp.

Thanks for the replies. I already have about 4 sheets of Damplifier Pro on both doors. I will work on sealing them off/ and or fiberglass door pods. It might be hard to totally seal the door off.

man with the deadening it should be getting lots of midbass response as is...

Not if he has it deadened and not sealed off with big gaping holes exposed. I recommend roof flashing and sheet metal screws and then deaden over that and should help out a lot. Also the 6x9's have thier own little enclosure, so of course they are going to get more mid-bass response.

Just get kick pods.

Kick pods only sound good IMO if you make them yourself. Don't go out and get those Q-forms. Had those before and blew monkey balls! And even tried to seal them better and still didn' t get good response.

Trust me, seal off the holes, it will help out.

well basicall you have a woofer with a total displacement of 45 sq inches (btw a 10 just has 78.5 sq inches) in a sealed enclosure....vs say 6.5s in the doors? which is 33 sq inches per driver in basically a free air environment.

You say you deadened and thats great if you got all the resonation out of the door but be aware its almost IMPOSSIBLE to totally seal off a door.

I agree with whats been said, grab some sheet metal cover the big gaps in the doors and do a few layers of deadener over it

Thanks for the help. I think I am going to pick up another set of kick panels at the junkyard and do some fiberglass work to them. Possibly move the tweets to the pillars as well.
