Component speakers help.

[Jon Tyler]

So in the next couple weeks i planned on installing component speakers in my front doors. I was wondering if i need to put in an amp with them or if i need to upgrade the head unit first. I have a 2000 Chevy Tahoe, with a stock head unit. Also, what are some good, inexpensive mids/highs amps? Here are the components, http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_72201_NVX-VSP65KIT.html

i would highly suggest putting an amplifier on component sets.

It does not need to be huge power at all.

i have run infinity reference and kappa series on an amp that did an honest 50 watts rms per channel with very decent results.

deck first, then speakers then amps and sub (this way you can hear/notice an improvement each stage of your audio upgrade)

you may put a head unit in and be happy with the difference it makes in your stock speakers. if you don't then grab a new set of components and an amp for them. That will definitely make a difference.

This is somewhat the way I went/am going. Deck, then added a small 8" sub in a stealthbox, then components, now a four channel amp. After all that, I'm giving heavy consideration to moving my 8" to the back burner and building a ported box for a Sunday SA10 or similar, if I feel like I need more bass to balance out the mids and highs.
