Question absorbing?

I just got 2 10's under the back seat w/o raising the back seat but they fire into the seat. A local shop built it. I have 2 rockford fosgate HE2's power'd by a audiobahn2150. The subs have the max ammout of watts they can take. Now my question is this:
If you are sitting in the cab everything sounds great nothings shaking or anything, but if you close the door you can hear the words to the songs because its loud but you can't hear any bass at all. I am wondering if the back seat is abosorbing any of the bass and if it is, is there anyway i can fix this because i want people to be able to hear me or go park out on a ranch with my friends and just listen to music. The subs have about 2 inches away from the seat. If anyone can give me any advice to fix this problem i would appriciate it. The whole reason i think the seat might be absorbing it is becuase my friend has the same setup with 200 watts each and i can hear him coming down the street, he has his subs downfireing also, so that might fix it, well ill quit writing my book thanks to any replys.

Cool

Let's be honest, little brother. Do you REALLY want to fix the "problem " with your cab's ambiance? Or do you REALLY want to sound "cool" like your inconsiderate buddy, who thinks it's really badazz to be heard from 12 blocks away. ("Wow. Doesn't that dude have a great set of woofs, maaaaan? Kewl!! He ROCKS".) Meanwhile, forward-thinking and considerate people (even those of us who also have killer woofs) are put off by guys like your buddy -- who haven't got the sense that God gave a rock -- because they don't have the maturity to turn down their friggin' systems while stopped at a light or going thru a residential neighborhood. Surely this is NOT what you're asking to correct? Nevertheless, try tuning your amps first, which is NOT to say you crank the gain up to the max. (Which often creates distortion, which may be part of your "problem"). I suggest you have your system professionally tuned by a shop that knows what it's doing: i.e. It frequently participates in SPL Contests. This should help with your bottom end, as it looks like your components are good.
