i bought a pioneer primier cd player, 2 4x6 door speakers and 2 rear 6x9 s and a small amp. i dont really need that much power. it sounds really great but it seems like my old factory had more bass to it. the amp my be 300 wts. the 6x9 s are up to 400 i believe. i dont remember what the 4x6 s are but i need to give it a little more kick w/o blowing my speakers. can anyone help?

Truthfully, do not run bass through those speakers. Bass blows those easily if you listen to it loud. Your best bet is to buy a subwoofer. Those are made to handle bass. You can use the 4x6 speakers for your high treble and your 6x9's for your mid range.

A lot of older speaker systems were designed to run on less power, so per watt they produced more sound. The newer speakers are designed to run on more power, so per watt they produce less sound, but can handle much more wattage before blowing, and can get much louder. I would say if you want to have more power you need a bigger amp. Your amp is probably only supplying a fraction of 300 watts consistently, otherwise known as RMS.
Another possibility is that your new deck is not tuned to have as much bass, or is tuned improperly. Newer decks can cut out bass to certain speakers, or cut out certain frequencies. Someone may have even wired it wrong, so when tuned it cut the bass away from your 6x9's instead of away from your smaller speakers. Also, if the speaker polarity is reversed on one speaker, two speakers can almost cancel the sound of each other, one pushes when the other pulls, they basically fight each other.
There are some sound system test CDs you can purchase that will help you diagnose the problem. You can get these at any shop that sells speakers, even Wally world carries these.

factory as a hidden amp in the radio but a filter on the new one will help or maybe a crossover check the setting on the cd player you might have to use custom.

6 X 9's are not subwoofers, they are midrange.
What he means is to switch the wires going to one of the speakers itself. You can try this, but it may not fix the problem.

Well you can get bass blockers so it doesnt blow them and they clip right on to the wires. Also you could turn up your amp just a tad to give it more kick .
