Do you need an amp to run alpine type S or R speakers
Hi guys, I have a Toyota Celica 1997.
I have a Sony DAB headunit (52w)http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-sony-cdx-dab6650_p-21492.htm
My Plan
To buy Alpine 6.5" Component speakers for the front doors only. I will keep the original Toyota standard speakers for the back.
Now I am thinking about Alpine Type S or Type R speakers. I have heard that Type R speakers may require an amp to get the maximum quality sound and loudness. Is this true?
What about type S speakers? Does it also require an amp?

Im running Type R 6.5" components up front and 6.5" coaxials in the rear. Running off the deck, they sound pretty good. They REALLY need to be turned up loud to get them moving. Definately going to amplify them with 100 watts rms or so.

the deck just cant produce the lows or the very highs with the limited range that the deck amp has
at any volume level you will here an improvement with an amp
so go for an amp as soon as possible !

So technically you can get more bass using an amp, but only if you EQ it that way and ty to turn 6.5" woofers into subs.
