amp needed??

[blimblam 10+ year member]

so this is my setup im planning on getting:

HU: Alpine CDA-9856 or Panasonic CQC7413U (leaning towards the panasonic)

Front speakers: 6.5" coax type-r

rear speakers: stock

sub: 12" alpine type-r 1242d

sub amp: hifonics brutus bxi1206d

i was wondering if i would need an amp for the front speakers or will the HU power be enough? if an amp is needed, any suggestions?

with those speakers i wouldnt really worry about an amp.... generally coax will be fine off HU power... if you wanted to step up to some comps, then an amp is pretty much necessary
