in my 06 crew cab, i have kicker resolution components in all 4 doors. they are set up coaxially in the rear and separate in the front with the tweets in the stock location. kicker 600.4 amp pushing them. my problem is i have no midbass at all. i have adjusted the amp and HU in every possible way and still have nothing. i will push them to distortion, and still no bass. so my question is.....do i need some type of sound deadning matterial on the doors? something like dynamat or rammat? or something like this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-6vvuGJsHnan/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.a sp?g=762&avf=Y . i just dont know what to do. i dished out all this cash and i am dissapointed. my highs are incredible. way better than i ever imagined....but nothing from the 6.5'' midrange driver. its moving a whole hell of alot, but not makin much noise. HELP!!!!

Fixed the link for you. The baffles work decently, and help put the mids out in the cabin instead of inside the door. Also, dynamat will help a little.

I don't know if this will come soon enouph or even help,but... I installe a set of Alpine R's in the stock location and had a similar experience. I remembered an article I read about aperiodic (sp) membranes/ damping. So I added some fiberglass to the back of the free air stock location. EX. use the stock 6X9 plate with an adaptor cut out of 1/4 inch hard board to accept the 6.5 midrange (remember this speaker is a MIDRANGE NOT A MIDBASS) Use the speaker to push a square of fiberglass (house insulation) through the hole so it hugs tight. Then screw it in place. This helped a little for me. Ah the wounders of science. If you want to know how it works All ican suggest is to look it up. To involved to explain. Oh and the membrane is usually mounted to the front in a free air application. I thoght this might kill to much of the mid so I haven't tryed that. If you do let me know the out come.

2 things to check first is polarity, If you are switched you can get the same problem, the other thing is to check the crossover and make sure you don't have the leads swapped so the highs are going to to the mids and the mids going to the highs
