[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8216528, member: 659121"] Aftermarket speakers are going to sound better on a reasonable aftermarket headunit even without an amp. If you have the money.. These are some great speakers that you can later amp up with a 50x2 (wouldn't cost much) if you wanted to down the road: Focal Access - 165A1's -- 6.5 components. This is hearsay, not personal experience with them. You will find likely a unique response from most people who respond to this.
