SGII question

[the duke]

I have SGII but I am wondering if I am missing something. All of my bass seems to be coming from my front door speakers. I hear very little coming from the rear. I noticed while sitting in rear seats there was not much bass coming from the rear deck. When faded to the rear all deep bass is gone. Any other SGII listeners notice this?

something must not be connected right. On my SGII you can hear and feel the bass from the rear 8" woofer. Nothing like have a 12 or 2 by any means but it will rattle the heck outta the rear view mirror.

Nope, mine sounds fine also. Have you taken it in to have them look at it? Probally something got disconnected.

disconnect the center dash speaker, it will change the stage a bit and give better imaging. I thought the same (all the bass from the front) until I ousted that center channel.

I set my fade 1-2 marks towards the rear and that seemed to help

Actually, now that you mention it, I noticed the same thing today. If I set the sound completely to the back, there is virtually no bass. Are there visible connectors I can check with relative ease? (I haven't crawled in the trunk yet since it's freezing outside) The sound is nice up front, but if something's not firing, I'd like it fixed. (Gotta get our money's worth after all!)

I'm having this problem too and haven't yet sat in the back or looked for wiring to verify. All bass seems to come from the front. I've replaced my speakers with Boston FX series, but I didn't do it or see the rear when it was apart.

I'll letcha know if it ever thaws out here. While I'm back there I also need to figure out where the annoying rattle I here is coming from (and it's not bass related). I hear it when I shut the door, ride over small or subtle bumps, drive on snowy roads, etc... Might be a fixit weekend!

Dam, I have the same problem. I have enjoyed the nice bass, but it is all coming from the doors. When I fade to the rear, almost nothing. I haven't really looked the car over too good (only 750 mi). Once the weather perks up, I'll be getting a little more intimate with the C. Is the subwoofer indeed in the rear? Weird how multiple people all seem to have the exact same problem. Any correction update is appreciated.

Well, I finally crawled around back there briefly today. What's odd is that there is actually bass coming out when you crawl into the rear seat/trunk, but it doesn't resonate around the car nearly as much as the front door speakers do. Maybe just a quirky design issue with how the rears are mounted/pointed??!? If there is a sub in the back, it certainly doesn't fire with more percussion than the fronts do, that much I can tell you. I didn't rip cover mount off, however, to check each speaker individually. Still too cold for that.
