Hey guys, I recently fixed a set of new speakers in my Kelisa (to replace the stock speakers)...

The clarity of these speakers really outshine my old stock speakers...but it seems to be a bit low on bass...

Even the stock speakers can produce more base than this.

I'm using a Kenwood 5039U head unit and Kenwood speakers.

No amp, no sub.

If I would like more bass, would it be necessary to install a woofer to complement my speakers? I've tried adjusting the player as best I can, but the bass is quite poor. Is it because of the wiring (could it be that the guys who installed it forgot to connect a wire or something)?

Thanks for the help.

Would it help to add an amp? As far as I understand, an amp only amplifies the sound...so if it comes out high pitched treble sound, it would amplify that and I would get a louder version of my current sound, which would pierce my ears and kill me? =.=''

The tweeters aren't really overwhelming...there's just lack of bass...

They're Kenwood speaker...They're quite low end (around RM300 for front, and RM300 for back)...but they are surely better than stock right?

They lose out to my stock speakers on bass...but in terms of treble, and clarity they're great...

Is my solution an amp? Wouldn't the amp just make the sound louder (but still high treble)? Or would it add bass to the sound?

Would a woofer be better?

Hi again...

This is my setup...

Hi all.

Thanks for all your replies.

Seems like the solution to my problem is to spend more money to get amp and subwoofer.

But if I get amp, would it help to make the bass sound stronger? I thought the subwoofer would be more important?

Generally, how is my set up? Ok? Should I be getting good sound with those speakers and HU?

So my problem is that my HU is not giving out enough power?

According to the specs of the speakers, they have a lot more potential?

Guess it's time to start saving for an amp

Just curious, could it be that my speakers are not properly connected to the crossover?

That could be a possible explanation for the loss of bass? Guess I need to bring my car for diagnosis!

Also my speakers are both 2-way. As such it would focus more on tweeter and mid bass right?

Sighhh...Luckily my HU has 2 pre-outs...probably going to find a 5 channel amp, and add woofer

Do I need extra juice (battery) for that?

My rear speaker is a 6 x 9 (model is listed above)...

That one also no bass...very weird...

Guess I really have no choice then...

I'll bring it to a specialist shop to let them do it

Added on July 12, 2008, 5:25 pmThere was a comment earlier, asking me if the tweeters are overwhelming.

I can now confirm that, YES, they are...

So what's the solution for this problem?

Would it be possible to change? Or do I have to change the whole speaker?

Coz I just installed these speakers

I have changed the OEM Head Unit. Currently using Kenwood MP5039U.

Sigh...feel regret...for spending a considerable amount of money, and getting lousy sound...Hopefully if can be rectified with minimal costs !

Don't quite understand what you mean with the polarities and stuff...

If I bring it to a specialist audio shop...would they be able to fix it for me?

Or do my speakers and head unit just suck? (speakers and head unit model and specs listed on first page)...

No more funds to spare...hahaha...

Going to save up for a few months, then maybe will add subwoofer to make up for the poor bass.
