In the Early 90's I had a buick with 2 10" mtx speakers MTX amp crossover 4 speakers the works.

But What I need to know is awile back I bought awesome car speakers 6x9 like $199 magnet was so heavy and when I hooked then directly to my 35 what a chanel head unit they sucked because the head unit lacked power the factory was actually louder and better. that was intil I amped the expensive pair.

So now it's 2005 and i'm looking to replace my contour head unit and speakers no amps should I just buy like $40 car speakers or is it better to pay for the better one's PS are they really better if they don't have a amp
