No Bass from doors or rears?

By afcrobinson2
- Sat Nov 07, 2009 10:41 pm #155345 I searched and browsed the forums and couldn't find anything, so here I am. 93 Civic Ex, Pioneer head unit. Everything is wired up correctly and I have clear sound out of all four speakers, just no bass what-so-ever. I've tried adjusting all the settings on my head unit with no success. If anyone knows whats up with it or has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

when you get new speakers in, adjust the treble and bass on the headunit. it will sound better but for bass your going to need to get a amp and subwoofer.

with a bazooka tube its hardly a sub at all. if its clarity and low bass he wants, why not get some componants and amplify them

I don't mind a good ol' amp and some 10's but I just want like factory 04 Civic Ex bass lol. My g/f has a 04 Coupe and I love her stereo sounds good and has plenty of bass and clarity for being stock. So I'll probably go the 6x9 route and see how that goes, I can fab something with the stock holes in the back.
