Default Hidden Sub?

My buddy just bought an LS1 with the Monsoon system in it and when I was riding with him I noticed his bass sounded a million times better than mine. I looked at his eq and he had the bass almost all the way down. I looked in the hatch area and stuff but I cant find a subwoofer or anything...any ideas?

You might have a "ghetto" Camaro monsoon system with 4 speaker locations. Doors and rears only.

If he got a Pontiac with the 6 speaker locations and rear seat panel subs that might explain it.

Comparing Camaro to Firebird?

Could be just the fact of having aftermarket speakers. I know I have better bass from my SPS-170A's in the doors than the stock subs in the sail panels. It should be even better after I replace those.
