Believe it or not but the mid is what determines the sound or character of your bass. Lack of deep bass? Most music typically lacks information below 40hz so maybe I'm misunderstanding? Anyways, bottom line is that the whole system concept determines each individual aspect of sound. They all work together. If you don't like the bass I have a feeling that monsoon is more of a one note wonder setup. I've never heard one so I'm not certain. In addition, all of that distortion is probably a combination of poor signal path and a sloppy speaker cone. Why not just try replacing the monsoon sub with something from parts express? Give me the size of the speaker and enclosure and I'll go look around. You'd be surprised at how much quality is packed into a $50 raw driver
