New Stereo...Sucks...Need Help

I bought a new Sony Explode 52Watts X 4, with 4 new sony explode speakers..The speakers are the two way 5 1/4 , the car has no lows what so ever..can someone tell me are the two way speakers just Mids and highs, i keep getting different answers from everyone i talk to. Is the only way to get some lows and bass to add a sub?

Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks..

You can't get any low end out of a 5.25" speaker, it will play down to may 60hz with any skill, but a sub plays the audible range between 20-80hz, that's why you have no low end. 6.5s are better, but the only way to get real boom is with a good set of 8s up to 15s

well, yeah a 5.25 will not usally play low, but the other problem is you got crap...I know it hurts and it's wrong but it is A good 5.25 would play lower but basically the guy is right, thats not the kind of speaker for it.

Sorry guys i knew that would confuse alot of people...These speakers are not in my Max, They are in a convertible LeBaron and that is all that will fit....So looks like from the feedback, i will need a sub...
Thanks for the help...

P.s... I wouldn't dare put that cheap crap in my Blk 2k SE..
