[QUOTE="jrotary, post: 4019776, member: 585709"] Yes, but the amp is low in power and who knows what the crossover settings are like. The new headunit has a lot of adjustablity as far as high and low pass filters as well as a nice EQ. This should help me get the most out of the new speakers without an amp. I would love to be able to hook the headunit up to the OEM speakers but that isn't going to happen without double-amplifying (the headunit piggybacking the OEM amp). This leads to line noise and crazy loud volume levels with no means of adjusting gain like an aftermarket amp. Bypassing the OEM amp is best it seems. BUT that means losing the OEM tweeters and sub. Hence, ordering some inexpensive new speakers to keep maintain (and likely improve) clarity of high frequency reproduction. Losing the OEM sub doesn't bother me either as it's not very good. The new speakers stiffer materials should give me better bass response, but I will probably be lacking overall bass compared to the OEM system. This is easily remedied in the future with an external amp, sub and quality components for the front. [/QUOTE]
