I am driving old triton, stocks speakers damaged and i changed the front speakers to 2way speakers, rear changed to midbass type.
car player is kenwood KDC-MP5039. Despite i tuned all kind of the settings, the bass still very low, seems cant kick out unless i increased the vol VERY big!
do i need to add amplifier to enhance it ?

Add an amp and see... Maybe it's underperforming

actually rm 3xx JVC 4 channel amp is the first step to boost your aftermarket speaker performance. add in sound deadening should improve your speaker setup.

expect your Head Unit to perform good bass without amplifier driven is kinda hard.

u got to know your hu power output and your speaker power input and damping factor bro, currently ur speakers are too hard for your hu to drive,
so either u go back to the shop to swap to easier to drive components or add an amp.

Noted and thanks for those advice. Just wondering why those car accessories kids didn't advise me on the spot! Nvm, I will add a cheap amp to try it.

Buy this unit, http://www.lazada.com.my/jvc-ks-ax3204-drv...19513.html?ff=1

I end up buying two units for both of my cars. I bought amplifier wiring kit and Do It My Self.

JVC 4 channel amplifier with 60W per channel which is more than enough to drive your component and rear speaker.

I use this amplifier to drive my front Focal 6.5" component and rear Focal 6.5" two-way speaker. Works perfectly. If you want extra bass, I've had install Kenwood active subwoofer to the extra kick. But you still need to add in sound dampening such as Edifier ones. Reduce the metal shaking sound.
