Why my neck of stock humbucker of Ibanez RX 180 Japan sounds thin and weak?

I followed these wiring diagram on the below of this topic but the neck sounds still thin and weak while the bridge sounds full. Both of the stock pickups are 3 conductor wiring. Red, white and bare wire. Red is my north and the white i think for split while bare wire is for ground. The components I use are CRL 5 way sliding switch, WD vol and tone pot 500k each and H-S-H configuration. Can you all please help me how to find this out the neck will sound full? Thanks

I'm thinking that you have a couple of potential issues going on here. To give the best advice, how is your bridge humbucker wired? Is it, bare to ground(typically back of the volume pot), red to a lug facing away and the white on a lug facing inward? Or is the bare wire and the white wire both soldered to the back of the pot with just one wire going to the five way?

Extremely weak (like 10x weaker) or just disappointing?

Extremely weak = wiring issues
Disappointing = set too low from strings and/or just sucks and/or only running one coil
