2011 LTZ bass is gone after speakers replaced

Note: Long post.

Well, I had been on the fence for a long time and finally decided to replace the 4 speakers before they decided to fail. They seem to be a common issue with enough and so I thought that prevention would be better than a cure. Well, this "physician" can't heal himself!

I chose Rockford Fosgate speakers for all 4 corners. I decided to go one step above basic and got their Punch series. For the front door 6½" speakers it was a choice of 6½" or 6¾", with the larger ones being 3-way and the smaller being 2-way, so I took the 3-ways for the same price. For the rear 6" x 9" I got the 2-way speakers.

I have the electrical drawings and carefully tested one of the 6x9 speakers on the left side by using jumper wires. Since they are 2-wire speakers with a built-in crossover and the stock Bose setup uses 4 wires, I was not able to get them to make enough sound. I even tried bridging them and they just didn't do it. I sent them back and got a pair of 2-way 6½" with separate tweeter and external crossover.

The speakers I now have are still all RF: P1675 in the front doors, P165-SE in the rear deck. (I returned the set of P1692 speakers.)

I just finished installing them today after getting the driver's door done Friday night. After getting it installed I was not all that thrilled with its sound output at all. I finished installing the left rear and it, too, was way too light on its bass. I figured I'd just finish all 4 and see if the Bose amp was somehow limiting what it outputs, kinda like the "weakest link" syndrome where the last original speaker was keeping them from making some noise. Nope, that didn't do it.

So here's my dilemma: I have absolutely no bass unless I turn it all the way up and drop the midtone and treble below center.

With all three settings in the center, I have to turn the volume up scary high just to hear a little bass, but then my ears are bleeding from all the SPL of the high notes. I've tried it on a USB file of several of Roy Orbison's songs as well as the SiriusXM tuner coming in on my Aux Input jack.

When I still had at least one stock speaker installed, I could run the fade/balance to that speaker and get deep, warm bass from it alone, but none of the others produced anything at all like it. And still don't!

The only good side in all of this is that I can now hear Roy's words much more clearly than the muddled sound from the stock speakers.

Can someone (or someones) help a fella out?
