If you have a 02 rsx s. they have a fix to make it a little bit stronger. just take it to the dealer.

If your not a crazy bass head, a new headunit will make a huge difference. The reason why there is a lack of bass is because the bose woofer is underpowered, and with a aftermarket headunit, it will make both your speakers and sub come alive.

Can you elaborate on this, I work at the dealer and we don't have many people complaining about the bass performance, most just install their own components anyway...What can the dealer do?????

there is a fix for the sub. if you reverse 2 wires it will make the base stronger. not like day and night difference. but slight.

I just found it....

Applies to 2002 Models only, but I could check the terminals on my car and see if it works on my 03 also.

It is in the December of 2001 Service News.

Okie, no more flamming. I think if you want more bass than go for a small sub and amp.

a good way to add bass is the bass link it's and easy install great sound in a small package. you don't have to change out your deck just wire it up

thats right...all you have to do is tap into youre stock "bass" speaker with an amp and a good box for your bass, it'll work- well at least it worked for me.
