Picking out auto speakers with bass you can feel?
I have a 2010 Ford Fusion sel, I'm looking for car audio with speakers that has bass you can feel. I just recently purchased the JBL gto860c. I don't reallt like how they sound. Too high and kind of starts to distort at high volumes. I think it's because I need an amp to power them. I'm not sure if my fusion has a stock amp or not, what set of speakers should I get that has bass you can feel. The stock component speakers in the front actually didn't sound too bad, though they were starting to rattle/distort. Should I return those JBL's?
A] Yes you need an amplifier
b] The Polk DB series speakers have better bass than the GTO860's
c] For bass you can really feel a subwoofer Is required
d] If your car came with the Sony DAEP 5.1 premium sound system it already has 2 amplifiers.
If you re just upgrading your stock speakers with the same size speakers you re not going to get powerful sounding bass.
Bass that can be felt is a result of high output low frequency sound. "Low frequency" is relative, but typically low bass is the stuff around 50hz and lower, especially 30-40hz. Producing a lot of output in that range requires subwoofers, and usually involves several hundred of watts of amplifier power.
A GOOD pair of 5x7 s/6x8 s simply can't do much at 40-50hz, even if they re getting ~100w. Speakers that size are often filtered to remove the low frequency material because they are designed to play mid/high frequency material loud and clear -- not bass.
To make a significant upgrade to your system I would go with a powerful 4 channel amp, a 10 or 12" subwoofer and a good box.
The 4 channel amp would provide two channels to power your component speakers (with a crossover to cut the bass) and 2 remaining channels that would be bridged to power the sub (also crossed over to remove the highs).
Son, a speaker is for the mids and highs. NOT "bass you can feel". 30-45hz is what you hear coming from a vehicle, a concert, and from your next door neighbor.
For "bass you can feel", you need a single 12" or a single 15" sub around 1,000 watts RMS, a good quality ported box and a monoblock.
Loud "bass you can feel" is around 40-55hz. That's what you and your buddies feel inside the car bumping through your body. 25-35hz is what annoyed people are tired of hearing at a further distance.
They just usually complain about cars with LOUD subwoofers and LOUD exhausts.

- How to get more bass out of my car stereo? I drive 2 company cars at my work (Ford FG Ute & Hyundai i Load) & both vehicles would have the best.sound systems found standard in any other car I've driven. Unfortunately I have drive home in my car. I I.installed a Sony 50w x 4 CD that fails to satisfy my appetite for rich, clear deep bass. Do these company vehicles have amps as well? I think not.
- What's the best bass i can get for my car? I have a 2014 ford fiesta (sedan) with stock speakers and 2 12" MTX Terminator subwoofers powered by boss R1100m amplifier but i wanna get as much bass as my car can handle with my budget. $1500 limit
- Do you feel sorry for Ford. It was obvious in her testimony that she was being used and lied to by the DNC? He lawyers kept information from her, she was being lead around by her DNC sponsored lawyers who were there top do The Democrats bidding and not protect Dr. Ford
