So i have a Pioneer Avic z2 HU and have now bought 6.5in component MB quart system (140 RMS). I wasnt planning on having a sub although im not 100% opposed to it. My first question is: would it be feasible to set this up without an aftermarket amp? If not what brand and specs would you recommend. And lastly if i go with the stealthbox which amp would be recommended for that? thanks for helping out an audio newb !

Something that does 100x4 and costs around $300. Use the rear channels bridged for sub.

in order of how much i like them, roughly:

just some brands to look at.

arc audio
alpine
pioneer
phoenix gold
jbl
kenwood
cadence
elemental designs

you need an amp no questions asked

if you are just powering speakers a solid 100x2 will work. other wise 100x4 or so for speakers and a sub

If your going to do a Stealthbox..you might want to shop for a stealth looking amp. Something small that you can try to hide.

Pentavolvo recommended the Alpine 4.150 and it's an amazing amp.
150 watts x 4 channel

Bridge the last two channels for the sub.
