One more question: Is an amp necessary when replacing the front speakers? I thought I read a post about some Polk speakers that were replaced without an amp and it seemed to work. On the other hand, I've heard that the Bose speakers are very low resistance and thus replacements might be seriously underpowered.

Now the only thing I can complain about is the herky-jerky accelerator pedal. I might need to get one of those Sprint Boosters I've been reading about.

Sheesh, and here I thought buying the car was enough!!
Yes you will need a new amp when adding new speakers and you will need to add new speaker wire to the new speakers as well.

I recommend going with the stock system as it is much easier to do upgrades in stages as aposed to with the bose system.
