Jack, It's possible the speakers are out of phase, that is the +
terminal of both speakers to the respective + terminals of the radio.
If you're not sure, just try reversing the connections on one speaker
(either one) and see if it improves the bass response. One of the most
noticeable symptoms of out of phase speakers is loss of bass.
