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!

My experience with 2 way speakers ( rear ported )  showed me that 
moving the speakers closer to the walls create bass bloat ,
so stay at least 2 feet from the front wall .
Spikes are good as others  have suggested , but the thing that
made the bass stand out the most was corner room treatment ,
for my room it was the corners behind the speakers that cleaned up ,
cleared up and tightened up bass response .
Cables do make a difference , try to find 10 gauge or larger .

Good Luck
