No bass from new speakers

Did you use the crossover? Double check that you've got the right input going to the speaker and the tweater.

Also, it's a 100 watt speaker (300 watt peak). Your headunit puts out 22 watts with 50 watt peak. My guess is it's probably just not enough power to drive them properly. I have the 6x9 in the front and 6.5 in the rear. I didn't get much better than stock performance until I added an amp.

 

X2 on adding an amp or two.

I am currently running the Polk MM6501 components in the front and the Polk MM651 speakers in the back. They are being driven by a Kenwood XRS-4, 4-channel amp hooked up to a Kenwood DNX-9140. (I have no sub/sub amp, yet...more on this in a minute) The speaker response for all speakers is matched at 93db @ 1W/1M w/40-25K freq response. Max handling is about 250Watts. They are very crisp, loud and efficient.

I wouldn't give up on your speakers so quickly. Your lack of bass can probably be attributed to the HU not putting out enough power.

Even with my deck, I am not completely happy with my bass response at the moment. The sound is fantastic for 90% of what I listen to but there are some types of music where bass notes start to fall off beyond 60-70Hz...the bass is there but it's not full or loud...sorta comes in as a dull thud. After the new year I will be adding a Kenwood XRS-1 amp and a JL Audio WS3 to fill in the low end.

If you've not already done so, look at adding an amp or two. I think you'll be much happier.

 

There's little to no bass at this point. I mean nothing. The unit I have is supposed to be the best kenwood makes that isn't a screen. I don't know what is going on but they get loud as hell just no bass.
