[QUOTE="req, post: 2996672, member: 555713"] it definatly has a factory amp. what is happening, is you are basically sending an amped signal into an amplifer and like trippling your output. but you are also over driving the amplifier REAL hard. imagine that you have a car, and its only supposed to go a certain speed or it will over heat. well, you go over the speed by like 5x. thats what the amp is doin. its only supposed to get like 3v input from the stock cd player, and you are giving it like 18v input lol. so running new wires is a good way to circumvent the entire problem. but new problems arise, mainly the fact that the crossovers are internal to the amplifier or the headunit. so the speakers in the car get a full 20~20 signal. so you might be stuck with upgrading to a set of components in the doors and running speaker wires straight to them. while you are at it, you might as well get an amp for them too. spend another $200 on speakers and $150 on an amp. nothing extravagant. but hey, it will sound a hell of a lot better [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
