The first components many car owners upgrade are the stock speakers. This is the most cost effective upgrade of any part of the stereo system. The sound from new aftermarket speakers will be crisper and will be much more dynamic. Higher quality speakers contain a cone made of dense material to provide great bass. A tweeter in the speaker creates excellent high notes, a three-way super tweeter can produce much better sound detail, and rubber surrounds are much more durable than the traditional paper or foam found in stock speakers.

All this says is that an amp will make the Polk aftermarket speakers the guy put in sound better. We are not saying that it won't. What we are saying is that the stock speakers are crap and should be replaced with aftermarket ones. And you don't need to amp them if you want better sound than the stock ones and to get high efficiency speakers if you want the stereo to sound better (louder) without an amp.You are confused.

Never did I disagree with anything you said. And the link showed a guy who bought after market speakers on a stock head unit and it sounded like ****. Of course everyone should replace their stockers especially if they are going through the effort to throw an amp on them. All I said is that many people get high wattage aftermarket speakers and think their head unit will power them efficiently. That when they turn up their stereos and get distortion it is because they are ****ty speakers. Well they are, to an extent and more so speakers of "back in the day" than now. But that stock speakers will sound better with an amp and eliminating low freqs to them than having high power mids on a stock radio. If you guys are telling me that mids get all the power they need from a stock head unit and that they efficiently reproduce bass your simply wrong. I have seen radio shack stereos sound amazing because of a proper setup and that is junk. With an amp you can turn the gain down so as to not over drive the stockers, but you can't get more power out of a head unit. So yes an amp will make stockers sound better and get more loud than high power speakers on a low wattage head unit receiving high/mid and low freqs. There is a reason people deliver highs to tweeters, mids to mids and lows to subs. Throw all that into one midrange speaker and under power it and you have garbage. At beast it wont get loud for ****. Hard to understand I guess.

maby while you have your stock speakers out go compare the construction of them with a good speaker. heck even compare them with a cheap speaker. and then tell us they are going to sell better. Been their and done all that years ago and it just does not work.. listen to these guys most of them probably have years of experience..

What's your point? It would, I said don't put high power mids on a stock stereo cause they would sound muddy due to lack of power. Pay attention. People make that mistake all the time and I was simply stating that to someone who wanted a louder stereo. You need good mids, proper freqs to driver and more power for a louder system. All I said is that EVEN an amp to stockers would sound better than high end mids on a stock stereo. I stand by that statement.
