Sounds like its coming from behind you.

4 way is the only way to get loud in a car.

I don't know what you do but my sub compliments nicely I play with my sub between second order and 4th order as high as 160hz and as low as 80hz (trying to deal with a resonance issue in the doors). It always sounds like it's coming from in the front of my dash as if the mids are creating the bass. I keep the rear seats up too.

But we also have very different listening styles Sometimes you can feel your hat moving tho

EDIT: The subs are also facing the rear seat so you can see them when folding down This helped tremendously with mid-bass transparency. However, facing the rear would be fine if I stayed at 80hz or lower.
