[QUOTE="jragusa, post: 7662122, member: 639877"] My question in short: [B]My speakers are distorted at slightly high volumes. Does this mean I need an amp?[/B] I know an amp does two things: Provides more power to make the speakers louder and adds to sound quality. I recently installed a pair of Soundstream SST6.9's. According to a few different reviews these speakers are supposed to be pretty good. But when I put the volume up on them, not piercing loud but let's say 25/35 on the hu, they sound somewhat distorted. What is the reason for them being distrorted? Are they not getting enough power? Do they have to be hooked up to an amp in order to sound efficient. The hu has the power of 22w x4 rms. [/QUOTE]
