I Need More Bass

[GlossyTundra]

:chuckle: I totally agree!

IMO, it is not near bad enough to go that in depth with. We have bose in both of our trucks, and as far as the mids and highs, they sound just as good as my custom sound system in my truck, the bass is a little weak, but a sub would solve that real easy.



Bose also has the imaging thing down pat and the "up front bass" (what little there is) is decent.

Have you tried slow rolling a spinner bait in about 12' of water? I prefer chartreuse with a two gold blades, and depending on the basses mood, you may need a pork trailer. In the early morning I'd try a top water in shallow water. That should get you more bass.

Uh, yea they do :argue

Could you name "most" of them then as my experiences very few have pre outs from the factory and Bose systems are typically impednace matched amps and speaker systems that can be a pain to add to. It can be done, but sometimes it's easier to go with an aftermarket headunit, amps and speakers.

I doubt that the stock sub you can replace with an aftermarket one cuz most stock subs in Acuras were like 8" subs. Try getting new speakers all the way around, you will get a good amount of bass just from high quality speakers.

Actually its a 9 inch. Of course no one makes a 9' so I bought an 8' thinking that I should build a mount for the rear deck to place it so it wont fall through. But I think that just may make my problem worse, especially since the stock amp is so weak.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Kicker make a free-air sub?

They do??? I wonder if they make a 9"?? I'll have to look into it

Alot of subs can work as free air. But yes, kickers 8" sub is free air. NO ONE makes a 9" sub. Tang-band makes a 6x9 sub, but not a round 9".

The sub I bought was an 8" MTX, but if Kicker definitley makes a sub thats meant to be used as free air then im investing in that one

Hey Papa Kicker does make free airs or atleast the last time I looked they did. I had a '92 Explorer with the Bose package which had a 6" sub in the side. I replaced it with the Kicker and loved it. If your not looking to compete in any SPL contest then keep it all stock and just replace the sub. I dont see why guys are calling Bose crap, atleast back in the day they were a decent sounding system. And the guy about .2 ohms or whatever(half ohm) Im not sure what that meant. You should be able to get any ohm you want, If I remember correctly I put a 6 ohm in. The old Kickers were really awesome, I stil have that 6 and an 8 and wish I could find a 6 to match for the wifes rear deck.
