Making bose replacement sound better?

Making bose replacement sound better?
I just finally replaced my bose speakers with infinity 6.5" 6010cs in the front of my 3rd gen-
But when I have it on reasonable bass, the speakers seem to loose alot of quality, but more due to the way they are mounted.
I cut a flat board, cut out the speaker shape, and bolted it in. It fits snugly, but the kit also came with a metal bracket and so "tape foam". Would using either help with anything? The 6.5"'s are almost 2x as big as the stock bose, but don't have nearly the bass due to no enclosure! :-/

Yeh, they are being amped by the HU (50w) and the 5channel amplifier (75W extra), but I don't know if I should attack the metal frame on them as well, or what the tape/foam is for...
I have a 12" ported sub in the back, which creates more than enough bass for me when I have it on right, but want something to create a little bit of bass when I have it removed - like driving 45miles a day, gas mileage is getting lower, and the box weighs at least 100lbs

Ok what do you mean they are being powered by the headunit AND the 5 channel amp? The problem may lie in the wiring setup.

Well, I assume the HU puts out 50W, since thats what it's rated at through the back - from there, crossover cables go out to the amplifier, which puts out 75W per channel which then run back to each speaker -
The bose sounded better, but I'm sure it's the enclosure- it's almost like the doors are rattling now a little bit because the behind the board/speaker is just the outside panel of the car door...
