Default Help choosing a system

So I can have a good system without an amp?


That word, "good", is subjective. I've heard quite a few decent sounding
systems that consisted of nothing more than 4 really high quality
speakers installed properly, and a high power headunit. More than that
have had the same plus a small amp driving a sub.

I've heard some really ****ty systems with multi-amp multi-speaker setups.

The bottom line with an amp is how loud do you want to be? Because after
a certain point, you just can't turn your factory radio up and not have
it sound ****ty. Best thing you can do is upgrade your headunit and four
speakers, and try that for a week or so. If you're not happy, add an
amplified subwoofer. After that, consider getting an amplifier for four
speakers for more clarity.

It's all a matter of opinion and taste though. Without a vulcan mind
meld, I can't make this easy. But then, if it was easy, you'd miss out
on the joy and pride of having a system.
