Audio Questions, Need help planning my audio set-up Options

[Keiri]

Everyone,

So I'm tired of the stock speakers in my GT; when I got the car they sounded fine but after driving it daily and hearing them in action they aren't as clear or crisp as the Pioneers I put in my previous car. I've now decided to replace the stocks with the following:

Front: Pioneer TS-D720C
Rear: Pioneer TS-D702P

My question is since the system will, at most, output 540W of power can I use the stock amp. or should I go ahead and replace/bypass it with an aftermarket amp? The amp I'm looking at getting is the Alpine PDX-5.

PS: Overall, this is the first step towards building my carPC if that makes any difference.

Any help or experience would be greatly appreciated.

OK guys, some progress.

I went ahead and purchased the Pioneer speakers and a Pioneer DEH-P510UB Headunit. I installed the 720C's yesterday using some of the How-To's here at 6GC and plan on putting the 702P's in today.

Figured out my harness issue; it seems I'll need to use the Metra 70-8112 Lexus/Toyota harness adapter. Going to check and see if a local shop has it before buying one online.
