Default Overblown flappy bass on Infinity 6022si (rear deck)

Replaced blown BOSE on rear deck with Infinity 6022si. Generally they sound OK but often I get flappy bass. Any advice?
TIA.

Default What's the impedence on the old Bose speaker vs. the new Infinity?

Any loose materials on the rear deck that might be causing the flapping?

2Ohm vs 2Ohm, so the same

Default All I can think of is loose materials on the rear deck causing it...

or you replaced the wrong defective speaker. If the amp was bad, you'd probably hear something worse than flapping. Or maybe no sound at all?

Nope, I've removed the cover and still observe the same sound.

Default If you've eliminated the speaker and rear deck...then the next step is to work up the chain...

amplifier! Can you get access to another working amplifier from another car, and swap it in?

Default The amp should be fine, I never heard such kind of bass from bose speakers.

May be the problem is the Infinity speakers.
Thanks.

Bass sounds loose as if it's "flapping" or something

Or maybe the amp fried the new infinity speakers.
