First thing I would check is my ears. No I am not being an ass.
What I meen is check the sound from different seats in the car and compare.
Sound systems are set up to project in a certain direction, so if you are not in
the path, it will sound low or muffled. After that, I would check polarity of the speakers.
This can be done 3 ways:
1) remove the speaker and head unit and look.
2) look at the speaker when the bass or mid hits, if the speaker cone moves out, it is correct, in, it's wrong.
3) If the head unit is out of car, take a 9volt battery and place the speaker wires on the battery terminals, watch speaker, refer to #2.
Also, some speakers have an ohm rating that can be switched on the speaker itself, make sure they are all the same.
Give me all the info possible and I will do my best to help out.

now if there are ant other speakers there not playing
also i do see 2 harnesses in the trunk 1 on the left side and 1 on the right side i herd that they were for the sub amps but im not sure
you gotta rewire it what you do is you run new speaker wire from the deck to each one of the speakers and you will get much better sound and it will also be louder because the wires you use will be much thicker than stock wiring.i work at best buy and im a auto installer there and thats what we do to fix the problem and thats what i did to my stang, sounds so much better this way
