Adding a pair of subs to the Mackies at 100Hz. helps. Getting the right relationship between bass and kick is real tricky involving careful eq. Mastering can fix some kinds of speaker problems but the real power to get it right lies in the mix. The lower midrange and low-end need to be matched up in a way that clarifies both the notes and the rhythm. For example you might cut 50 and boost 200 on the bass while doing the opposite to the kick.
