Na, no stock amp. You will be good if you just wire the aftermarket HU using aftermarket harnesses and you are good. By chance do you have the steering wheel controls on yours? I just got mine in Jan but unfortunately no steering wheel controls.

Yup what cjastacio said, plus you will get a better sound out of the speakers because you are adding more power to them. But i would consider changing speakers, eventually, to get an even better sound. Good luck.

Kappas... What kind of radio did you ge?. The steering wheel controls wont hookup to the aftermarket radio with out a special piece, and i beleive only certain radios have that, but i could be wrong. Search online to see if you can get that piece for you new radio.

An amp =/= better sound.
It = more noise

An 4ch amp, 6 speakers and a new radio is the best way to go, for more noise, better sound quality and little or no distortion. But all this can run big dollars, for someone who may not have a lot of money at one time. Once the new radio is in and the new speakers, start saving up for the ultimate better sound an amp.
