Sound Deadening the doors:

1) All lot of bass response from your car speakers is lost in thin air due to having gaps in the doors. This is because if there is tiny holes scattered across the inside door the sound will not hit as hard. If you cover these areas with pieces of MDF wood and apply sound deadening material over them you will notice alot of upper bass punch coming from your mids in your doors.

car equalizer

Adjust the Equalizer:

2) Increase the bass inside the equalizer provided inside the headunit will allow to get more boom out of your car speakers. The first slider towards the left in the eq specifically focuses on bass, around the 50-60 HZ range. Increase this all the way up will increase bass but be careful because the higher you place it the more likely you are going to run into the risk of getting distortion playing from your car speakers at high volume levels.

upgrade car speakers

Upgrade the Speakers Adding and Amplifier:

3) The stock speakers are usually made from paper cone and other cheap materials. Overall, they are not meant to last for long periods of time and tend to distort much quickly. The bass is also very weak from a cheap factory stock speaker. This is because car manufacturers don't tend to concentrate that much in the audio, they rather put their time and research into other parts of the vehicle such as the engine and handling. So replacing the stock speakers with a nice pair of component speakers powered by an external amplifier is the way to go. If you are wanting to add bass into the back, then installing some 6x9 speakers into the rear parcel shelf will be your best bet. They have the largest surface area in terms of car speakers and can provide lots of bass and high quality treble at the same time.
