[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8659083, member: 576029"] I could spend more time on this but most of the time aftermarket speakers have weak bass because they aren't sealed to the door panel. This lack of a seal is like asking a speaker to play bass without an enclosure. The door panel is the speaker enclosure and that seal is VITAL for any bass response. Look into the speaker grill with a flashlight. If you see the woofer moving a lot but don't hear a lot of bass - you need to gasket it. Luckily, that cost is only $4 because it is achieved with closed cell weatherstripping foam you can get at any hardware store. Just be careful to not put any on the actual surround, but instead around it on the basket. The thickness you need depends on the gap between the speaker and the door panel - verify/measure this. And if you put the door panel on then take it off again you should see an indent in the foam - proving you made a tight seal.
