[QUOTE="toxicmegacolon, post: 7946249, member: 646093"] Well I finally got time to run my power wire and take my dash apart and it turns out that you're mostly right. It was a little better in terms of sound quality at high volume with the amp running the stock speakers, but not enough that I'm going to leave it that way. In my vehicles of yore it was always the stock head unit that was the limiting factor rather than the speakers so adding some clean power always made a big difference. In this vehicle it seems the speakers and head unit are pretty much equal in capability (equally crappy) so the amp didn't make much difference. So either factory head-units have gotten better or factory speakers have gotten crappier, or a combination of both. [/QUOTE]
