speakers fine with no amp for this?

are ya'll sure that they need to be amped because with stock speakers, u turn it up with just an aftermarket radio and they start to distort when they are up loud

I'd highly recommend it.

When speakers are powered by the HU's internal amps, the distortion rate is MUCH higher than an external amplifer (5% vs about 0.1% at higher volumes).

Well it's all connected and set up and I'm happy it quite a vast improvement over what I had //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif now down the track I will add a amp at some stage but to then it's certainly going to keep me happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It's the amp that's distorting, not the speakers. Well at least with decent speakers. Stock speakers usually ****.
