Aftermarket Speakers
Do a search for radio or stereo mods.
The hot ticket seems to be putting a capacitor in the front speakers to eliminate everything below 200 Hz. It really clears up the mid-bass and makes for a really nice sound.
I just did it to mine and think that a 150 Hz blocker may be a little better. It's still much better than before. You can actually use the subs and have a little fun without it sounding muddy.

Being an that Im an installer, I've tired some things like the capacitor trick. I found that I didn't like it, I don't know what some people are hearing. After I put the capacitors on the front speakers, I realized just how bad the factory subs sound and the overall bass output was far less. The front speakers actually are very good and don't distort as bad as the subs do.
I knew in the end that I was going to add a aftermarket amp because I just wasn't satisfied yet. So, I changed the head unit for my Pioneer and added my JL Audio 500/5 five channel amp which is 100x2 for the front, 25x2 for the rear, and 250x1 for a sub. I just amplified the stock front speakers with clean 100x2 power crossed over at about 63hz and they sound great!
They produce more and cleaner bass then the stock subs do, I left the stock subs hooked up to the factory amp, on the rear outputs of the headunit, that way I can use the fader to shut them off if I want to.
I love the sound Im getting from the stock door speakers now, very loud, clear and lots of mid bass that you can feel on your legs!
Then I added a JL audio 8W7 8" sub in a sealed box for some real bass.
