Let me know if you want to listen to the system in my bird. The stock amp worked fine with the aftermarket speakers I installed (boston accoustics in the door and rear panels) but with the new HU, I tossed in the additional amp which piggy backs right onto the HU itself. It all fit behind the radio in the dash as well. The front speakers were pretty affordable, plug and play and included an additional tweeter so with the top down, I can hear the highs very clearly. I have two 10" JLW1's in a box in the trunk powered by a modest Alpine amp. Overall, I think my system is very well balanced so again, let me know if you want to have a listen.
