Bypassed the factory amp. Ran my own loom from the head unit to the rear. Initially is sounded OK, about the same as stock. I then added 2 crossovers I had laying around from a car long past gone, and wow, after a little tweaking all 10 speakers came alive. Sounds far better than the OEM DSP system previous. Have not yet installed an amp yet. Going to play with it for a little while before deciding if I 'really' need one.
If you keep the factory speakers I wouldn't bother with an amp to be honest. Amp is only going to help with a speaker upgrade.
