What's Up everyone,
I am planning on replacing my stock speakers and tweeters. I don't have the Bose system, i have the Clarion headunit. Will replacing the speakers require an amp? A few shops around here threw me some bait but i didn't bite. Trying to sell me a full upgrade for big $$$$. Just a simple question, can the speakers be replaced with better ones, I want better response, I know that bass comes with a sub which i don't have. Don't flame just a gee-wiz question.
Thanks

 

hey man, you don't need an amp. But some speaker do require an amp. I have infinity kappa 6 1/2" and they do require an amp. It the RMS for the speakers you want is around 75....get an amp. Most good upgraded speakers aren't that so you should be okay.

 

I just replaced my speakers. i used the Polk momo 61/2 component
speakers. an amp is suggested, but with a good head unit that puts
out a quality sound and eliminates the all of the distortion
will satisfy you (for a while). I just happen to have 2 12" speakers
in the trunk. and a 600wt punch amp.

 

You won't need an amp with most $50-$125 basic coaxials. Aftermarket decks put out between 15-30 watts per channel. Get a nice entry level 3 way Pioneer and you are good to go. Do your window shopping at www.crutchfield.com

 

I own a 2001 SE, I replaced the speakers with Eclipse 6.5", didn't touch the tweeters dough. The quality is really noticeable, it's not spectacular but it's much better than the crapy speakers the car came with.

BTW, if you have a tweeter store near ask maximadave for prices, I really saved good $$$.
