[QUOTE="RED3, post: 6671986, member: 610788"] It's possible to upgrade your components in the mr2 w/o an amp but you will need to get some VERY efficient speakers such as the Focal 165 A1's @ 91db, or something similar in efficiency ratings. I have the focals in my mazda 3 with the oem hu, no amp yet, (still debating on installing one & warmer weather as well), and I am pleased with the results. You will not get ear shattering volume, but you will get a much improved sound, I also used raammat btx on the front doors as well (search for sound deadening the doors) which helps alot. The HU in my 3 is rated anywhere from 10-20 rms, lets say 15 rms or less, and the Focals sound very good to me, a vast improvement over the stock speakers IMO. I have the volume at around 6-8 majority of the time, max is 34 I think, up to 10 or 12 if I'm in the mood for something loud (to me anyway). The Phoenx Gold comps that was the forum boner a while back are good based on comments, efficient, and [/QUOTE]
