the interior speakers aren't stock. i'll just look into getting an amp for them. i did turn the bass down on the head unit and that helped a little. and i change some treble settings there too and that helped (but it's still there).

i'll have to look into bridging my amp. i actually stuck his subs in my box (i guess i should have mentioned that) so there's no difference in the box at all. it's a sealed box (not bandpass). i also think it has to do with the kickers being better. then just felt better (they're a little heavier and it feels like they're made better (the cone isn't made out of plastic like the pioneers)).

thanks for all the help guys. :goodjob:
