So i own a 2002 subaru legacy L. a few months ago i switched out the stock 6 1/2 in speakers with Kenwood speakers. The upgrade was great and i loved the new speakers. The problem is a few weeks ago i got my hands on two pretty old 10in kenwood subwoofers. Because i am not trying to spend too much money, all i did was tap the two subs into the rear speakers. I built two separate enclosures for them with wooden sides and a fiberglass top, put port holes in both of them,sealed all of the corners with silicon caulk and added what i thought was a good amount of poly-fill. When i hooked them up i noticed the over all system is louder but that low bass sound and vibration is gone. Basically the system was able to hit harder with out the subs than with them. I have a stock stereo and no amp, and i really dont want to have to buy an amp because they are really expensive but i am planning on upgrading the head unit. Does anyone no how i can get the subs to hit harder with out buying an amp? Or why the four 6 1/2in. speakers stopped hitting hard and stopped producing as much bass as they used too?
Also, all of the speakers and subs were hooked up with those crimp on quick connect plugs so the connections are all secure.
Thanks
