[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3570388, member: 35036"] mid you’re wanting to avoid the amp right now you need to make sure you’re paying attention to the speakers sensitivity rating. That’s essentially it’s efficiency. Typically, most aftermarket speakers will sound better than stock, but without extra juice, they won’t be as loud. Even with an aftermarket head unit. Choosing speakers with a higher sensitivity rating will sort of prevent this from happening. I believe the alpine S series has a pretty good sensitivity rating. I remember once I installed some Kenworth excellon components in a girlfriends car, and without a component amp you had to turn them up 3/4 of the way to get any sort of useable volume out of them. Just something to keep in mind. [/QUOTE]
