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.

The pioneers I have wouldn't have any bass in a sealed 1/2 cubic ft box though, would they? I should say low end bass, 30-50Hz.
A good ported box designed for them would help for sure but I mostly see people with tiny boxes with 6x9's.
