got CMKX? Unregistered guest | hi, i have bought the Panasonic MXE CQ-C9901U http://www.crutchfield.com/S-bUcrMHqj8pu/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=133C9901 my problem is that i have a F250 truck with all power seats and i have no where to put an amp without it being an eye sore. it says that this head unit has a built in amp.......do any of u think this amp will be good enought to push the sound to my speakers? i bought new infinity speakers. or should i bite the bullet and get a separate amp? thanks. |

The average HU amp puts out 20-30WRMS. You are probably going to need an amp if you want to get your moneys worth with the speakers. |

Most HU will put out 15-18 wrms, definitely not enough to run aftermarket speakers. I would definately look for an amp for those speakers. Bite the bullet man!  |
