Do I need a separate amp?

Thank you very much in advance,
e36er,

At one point, I was trying to upgrade my base system to the bose. In this effort I actually swapped the base speakers in my 370z with the bose front speakers and bose tweeters keeping the stock headunit. The verdict, it does work and it is plug and play. The sound quality was much better than the base speakers, however if you turned it up too loud the tweaters would start to make a "clipping" sound. I would assume it is because they were receiving a full frequency of sound rather than high-pass only. You could probably solve this by adding a cheap bass blocker capicator if needed. In the end, I ended up upgrading all of my stereo to aftermarket. However, I will say the front bose door speakers do sound quite nicely on the stock head unit. Very warm!

Hope this helps.
