No, I'm sure the speakers are phased correctly - I understand that issue
and installed the unit myself.

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.
