What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?

Hi-

I am wondering what would give the most dramatic increase in bass and low mid projection/Volume, even on account of accuracy ...


My speakers can go down to 28hz but i need to boost it’s level, not frequency extension. They are 2 way with bass reflex port. 6.5" woofer size and a tweeter. Floor standing.

My floor is old hardwood strips.

placement and coupling methods are the first things that come to mind. I do not want to add an equalizer at this point.

Spikes, footers, concrete platform, direct floor flush contact? anything and everything that YOU know works.
Speculations on untested methods are not needed as i need real life experience from people.

Thanks!

28 Hz from single 6.5 " woofer ? What speakers do you have ? 
But if they are that good - better source and amp and cables and power cords, yeah. Which ones ? I have no idea.
Putting them against the wall or in corners would probably be the wrong move unless they were designed to be placed there. But at least that's easy to try.

Purist Dominus cord on power amp works great, bass sounds right.
But before that - real no BS power amps, then power cords.
Most recordings suck, by the way, maybe "1% cables" is one of the reasons. Another, clean record head, another - use good electronics and microphones, and finally - don’t do lousy job.
