Default Bose Lost Its BASS ?

for some reason my D2 just dose not have the punch i would expect from a Bose system and my previous D2 sounded lovely this has all the Treble but lacks bass

now ive been told there is a Bass tube in one of the doors somewhere and that provides most of the kick ect im just wandering if any one can help with this or has there been any similar problems with the Bose ?

would love to get this resolved as its one of the very few let downs with the car others are easy to resolve but i just cant track this one down

thanks

heres the bose info I mentioned if it helps Guy

BOSE D2 Speaker Layout

This is what the door speakers look like - pretty much all of the bass comes from these door speakers on either side

ahh thats great Neil Thanks

only thing is how do i find out if that is in fact what has gone on my car ?

and Amar no sadly i could not track it down so i bought another FL D2

i could do with a chat with you actually regarding the D2 your thinking of buying as there are a number of things id like off of it if you were going to buy it and i spoke to the chap selling it he will take 1k for it cash
