I once change the HU for the bimmer I drove, the new HU is more than enough for the OEM speakers and the sounds is improved.

But when I replace the speakers, my friend, who runs a shop, told me unless the upgrade includes an Amp along with better speakers, otherwise there's no difference....

I still replaced the speakers w/o putting in an Amp..... and the result was.....

Keep the speakers if you are not going to put in an amp... a good HU is enough for the OEM speakers...

Cool, what HU/speakers are you looking at, if you haven't purchased already?

If you haven't, what are you Wanting in the car?

If you're planning on upgrading the speakers to high quality vs improved stock replacements, you will want to think about adding an amplifier as well.

What sort of price range are you looking at?

Most "stock" HU's only push 8 watts RMS to the stock speakers. Most aftermarket HU's push 22 watts RMS, so triple the power without having to add excess parts, especially if on a budget, or not looking to upgrade speakers as well.

Yup, and the 22 watts RMS is not enough to push a higher quality speakers....
