You need an amplifier.

Those little head units, no matter what they say, only put out ~12w per channel, and poorly at that. It is simply a space issue. There just isn't enough room for large amplifiers in a single DIN with all the other electronics. Buy a small 4-channel amplifier and you'll never have a volume problem again.

Unless you think you're really going to get into car audio, just get a low powered amplifier from a quality brand. Something like this would be sufficient:

Alpine 40w x 4
