Helicore string question

Hello again.

As some of you know I have Helicore light arco's on my bass (helicore hybrid on the long E). I have a thunderous low register (everything but my G string). I don't quite get it. My G just doesn't seem to be that loud. It doesn't project it doesn't sound loud up close I just don't know what to do. Any experiences, tips, or suggestions here?

Maybe some soundpost adjustment?
Or try the heavy gauge G?
