I'd imagine almost all car speakers are meant to be installed in an open environment, ie into a trunk or in a car door. Put in a little box they won't have much bass at all.
If you've ever heard speakers when they're in a sealed box, you'll be able to tell how much more bass there is compared to open-air. if you've ever heard speakers in a door that isn't very sealed, or has almost no sound deadening, the bass is almost non-existant if the engine is on, or if the car is moving.

Many speakers sound good in rear decks, because the trunk area is quite padded, and seals good. take the carpet out, or have the trunk cracked while driving, that low end is just not there.

They make speaker baffles for doors that have a bad seal or sound deadening. they work, not as well as a good speaker box, but you can definitely hear the music better when your driving down the road.
