[ol][*]Make sure phasing is correct. If one speaker is reversed the bass will disappear and the sound will not seem to be coming out of the center. ( I know you have answered this one in the previous post. I just want to say it again).[*]If the magnet is larger (stronger)than the original there will be less bass.[*]If the spider is stiffer there will be less bass. Note: The spider should loosen up a bit over time.[*]If the cone is lighterthan the original there will be less bass.[*]If the mid and tweet are stronger (louder)the bass will appear to be less.[*]If the speakers are not sealed around the mounting surface there will be less bass.[*]If the speakers were designed to work with a sub they will have less bass (and probably cleaner sound).[*]It could be the originals had too much bass (boomy) and now the response is flatter (and cleaner). [/ol]
You now have an excuse to buy that 12" sub you've been checking out.

If you're still running the stock CD player, chances are they're just not getting pushed hard enough.

this is the receiver and idk if the wiring pic helps.. i was just driving and was messing with the stereo some more and theyre alright.. i wasnt putting the volume high enough for the bass to be produced and I had to mess around with the bass/treble/middle...etc. they arent bad but i could use a sub just a little one

you might have a defective set? when i changed mine out, the bass response was night and day compared to the stockers, then when i got a head unit, the bass amplified even more when i set the high and low frequencies to the correct settings

You can always try just switching the wires backwards and seeing if they sound better, i always do it that way just to check.
