save your $$ on the bass booster kit.

go down to walmart, pick up a bag of POLYFIL (the stuff inside of pillows) take a 1" thick piece and wrap the entire inside of your speaker pod. You end up with the same result. you "fool" the speaker into thinking the enclosure is bigger than it really is.

yes sir, really. It's what we use in subwoofer cabinet designs that cannot physically be made large enough to fit into cramped areas. The amount of polyfil is directly proportionate to the size of the enclosure and the size of the speaker and in most cases where smaller subs are needed (6" and 8"), it eliminates having to port and tune an enclosure with PVC pipe. It's just like everything else though (except money and incredibly drop-dead gorgeous chicks); you can have too much. I've found through experimentation with the rear pods and a set of 5.25 J&M rokkers driven by the 500w rokker amp that 1" thick completely wrapped around the inside of the speaker cavity performs best.

That sounds like a good trick. I'll have to try that. One thing I've noticed is that if I lean back about 2" from my normal riding position, I pick up a lot more range from the speakers. I'm wondering if angling the rear speakers some might help?
