[QUOTE="cjv998, post: 7110564, member: 611988"] So I have a pair of Type-X 6.5's (the SPX-17REF models), and I'm considering (gasp!) running them off my head unit power (Kenwood KIV-700, 22W RMS/50W peak). The car is a Miata, so I don't want to take up any of my precious little trunk space with an amp, and the only amp small enough to stash away somewhere is $200 (the elf 2125X). Also, I won't have any rear speakers - not sure if that would put less demands on the HU's internal amp or not. So do you think I'll completely regret this decision and end up buying an amp, or will my speakers still sound decent? (I've only ran them off external amps before, so I'm not sure what I'll be missing out on until I hear them, I'm guessing I might lose some midbass? Oh, and I don't usually blast my speakers, moderate volume is plenty for me.) Anyway, any opinions on this? [/QUOTE]
