Help Audio Newbie add Bass I'm not to familiar with what's out there currently and what would work for my setup.
I had a 12" subwoofer system and decided to take it out because it was really heavy. I stripped out all of the wiring, took out the stock headunit and the monsoon amplifier. I currently have a Panasonic headunit powering the door speakers and the a-pillar speakers and have no bass anymore. The speakers are Boston Acoustic RX-67's.
What would you do? What could I do to add more bass or am I going to need an amplifier?
I have this amplifier Kenwood KAC-9102D:

Since it is a Class D amplifier does that mean it's solely for Subwoofers?

Sorry I was unclear in my post but I don't want to go that route anymore. I had a single sub setup but now I am running an aftermarket head unit with 4 Boston Acoustic Speakers. Jus' with this setup, I have no bass or midbass. I am looking at the best way to add more bass to my current setup.

get a 10 in sub thats not a high power sub it wont be AS heavy and a fiberglass box to put in the cubby hole in the back and a small amp but if you just dont want to do a sub at all (and it sounds like you dont) do what the guy above said but the sound deadning material and amp is heavy as well what do you want more is the ? atleast the sub puts weight on the back wheels and you can make a set up that you can put in and take out pretty easy

Sound deadening like Dynamat will help. you could also get a small 10 for the rear cubby kicker makes a pre loaded box. you can find the with and without amps online and ebay of course or you could get just the box. I know subthump.com has them. a sub will help take the pressure off of the 6.5" and your overall SQ will improve. also giving adequate power to you existing speakers will help as well
