Default AVIC D2 questions

I'll be installing an AVIC D2 in my 98 soon. Is this HU powerful enough by itself to drive aftermarket speakers - front only, or does an additional amp have to be installed? I don't need to blow the roof off, just listen at a comfortable level that overcomes the engine and road noises.

If so, any recommendations on speakers?

It claims to put out 50w x 4 peak and 22w x 4 RMS. It should push a couple of small speakers just fine.

If you can.. Just install an amp...

There fairly cheap ($75-100 for what you will need), the sound quality will be better than the built in amp, it will keep the HU cooler, and aviod problems down the line...

Just my .02
