I am currently running a kenwod ddx HU
with polk db571's in all 4 doors
alpine f300 amp 55wattsx4
My main goals are about 25% increase in volume
and add some low end I mostly listen to country so don't
need rumbling lows just nice hitting lows and more fill in the
low end.
I dont have thousands of dollars but am not a cheapo either.
Any thoughts are welcome.

What db rating are your speakers? 2 or 4 ohm? A 92 - 94 db rated 6x8" speaker will somewhat increase the volume and have better bass response than a 89 or 90 db rated 5x7" speaker. I would add a 10" sub if you already have a 5 channel amp. If no 5 channel amp, I would install two set's of two-way 6x8" speakers with a 92 db rating or higher.
It all comes down to how much you truly want to spend.

Everyone always says "i listen to country so I don't need much bass" or "I listen to hip hop so I was huge subs". I think it's the other way around. I listen to a bit of everything and on the pop/rap/hip hop stuff I turn the gain all the way down on my subs because the songs are already so bass heavy. On country and classic rock stuff I turn the gain about 3/4 of the way up because they have such little bass in the songs and I want some.
I agree with Blue07STX though, get a single 10" sub, then if you want more replace the door speakers.

I listen to mostly country, but I have a 15" sub in my truck. Country songs have a lot more low end bass that 10's won't pick up than you think. But if you want a decent 10 that won't break the bank I loved my Ascendant Audio Assassin, it went lower than my kicker 12 and was still able to go higher too.
