Base Stereo Upgrade Help

Will the HU improve your sound quality? most likely. Do you NEED an amplifier? No, but you would certainly benefit from having one. More power is never a bad thing, especially with the road noise in the Z. A small 4 channel class D, using the HU crossovers. 2 channels LP to your doors, 2 channels HP to your dash. (through your amp, of course)
Nowadays power is cheap, why not take advantage.

There is currently crackling/distortion with any song that I play right now that has any consisten bass which makes me either think it’s the HU or the internal wiring/connections. The crackling was happening with the stock speakers too. I guess I’ll find out when I install the head unit tonight.
