Does My HU give enough??

hey everyone

here is my HU

http://www.xplodsony.com/product/print/CDX-GT805DX

and these door speakers (6.5) two sets

would it be better to run them directly to my HU or should I run an amp?

If amping them externally is an option almost always going that way will yield more satisfying results //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I can't answer the first bit but here's the deal about using HU internal power vs. outboard amplification...

The majority of HUs will give you 20 watts or so per channel of unclipped wattage to power speakers with.

Most decent to good coaxials or components sets are going to want considerably more wattage to perform their best.

And that's pretty much it, I reckon. Given a choice which sounds the better route to you?

Obviously I want the best sound possible from my speakers, I've heard alot of good things about them and id like to give them the recommended amount of power to see what they can do. I have the amplifier, the cables, and the time.

That bit I have made boldface pretty much brings an end to this thread, in my humble opinion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
