Has anyone ever used the Pioneer TS-A6965R's in their rear deck? I picked a set up from Best Buy to replace the poor sounding set when I bought it. While they do sound more crisp and clear than the stock 6x9's, there is almost no bass from these at all. I know they're not audiophile quality speakers, at near $90 for a pair (thankfully I got them almost half off), I feel like they should have at least some bass. I have read a decent amount of reviews and they almost all are good to great. Now I only have an LT without the pioneer, is there any easy way to amplify just the rears? I don't need anything heavy or super bassy, but I would like some.

Any help would be appreciated. I also picked up the matching set of 6.5"s for the front door, but am waiting on the Scosche adapters since the fronts are blown/doing the same thing every base model Cobalt seems to do. Hopefully I get a little better experience by having more than just the deck speakers going, but who knows.

 

esh the fronts are probably going to be a big drop in bass as well. pioneers arent known for having good "bass" and stock speakers almost always have more bass then aftermarket 99.9% from my experience.

So you are going to have to decide how much you like bass and maybe add a sub (look for the stock sub\box if you are worried about room and such)

The only thing i can recommend at this point since the speakers are already purchased and in the vehicle or in the works is to add sound dampening to the front doors to help bass response. You can also seal up the hole in the door to help even more
