got a 04 with ML system.. unplugged sub due to being blown. Today i steped in the car and it just doesnt sound right.. so i checked front and back speakers through the F/r l/r balance levels and i noticed the rear door speakers dont carry any base... I dont know if im just tripping or is my stock amp out. The front speakers sound good. lmk what you guys think. thanks.

 

I have an 02 and my rears don't play any bass either. I think it's the way the system is designed.

 

what are you talking about midbass? because the sub creates the bass, not the rear door speakers.

 

yeah i guess mid base... im not really caught up on the whole audio sound talk. sorry. the rear door speakers just sound flat i guess. all vocals... very little kick.

 

no need to apologize, just trying to understand you problem. but i don't have a ml system so i'm really of no help.

 

lol... thanks.

 

Rear door speakers are weak and small, they wont produce bass like the fronts.

 

ok thanks GS4...

thats what i was hoping to hear... maybe it was just my mind over thinking the quality. haha.

i would really like to upgrade the speaker system.. i dont need crazy bass... just nice clean crisp sound.

 

you don't need a new system, just replace the blown sub. door speakers aren't meant to supply your sub-bass.

On another note, I'm glad I just got my bass back. I have a 500 watt rms amp on a kenwood 10" running free air in the stock location. Took a while to find the kenwood, my rear deck didn't like the 35 pound rockford hx2 hanging back there.

 

Tiger can u pm me info on this sub and the bracket u used.
