So in my slowly winding road to stereo upgrade city, My latest conundrum is this:

Can you get a decent 50 Hz response from 6.5 inch speakers? I have run a test tone CD on the stock 160W system and found that 50 Hz reponse was weak (bass set to +1) and 40 Hz was non existent.

Having run the same test CD on my home system, I know that 50Hz response in the car would be more than satisfactory.

Soooooo, will an aftermarket head unit and coax speakers be capable of this?

Don't want to eat the trunk real estate for a subwoofer if I don't have to. Don't want to deaden / seal the doors if I don't have to either (winter in Canada means oiling the car and I don't want to risk interfereing with the spray process)

Am I expecting too much?
