    Hey yall,

    Quick question!!! I searched and got conflicting answers. I am planning on adding a pair of bed speakers for tailgating and whatnot, but I have a question. I was planning on just tapping into the speaker outputs on the back of my factory radio with my factory setup, do I need an amp to run the bed speakers? The speakers will be on a switch so that they are not on all the time. If I do need an amp, will this one work?

    Thanks in advance!!!

    If you tie them in with the factory speakers it will change the impedance at the head unit so be careful because in the long run that could cause issues.
