Better than stock. How long that will last given the fact I have to play at 1/2 to 5/8s volume to hear?

I have a Sony head unit w/o an amp. Sounds good up to 50 mph then the wind starts to wash away the sound. Can still hear the radio at 70 but not as loud as I would like it to be. I have a 6 inch w/s so that doesn't help. The problem is not the speakers, it's the output so an amp is highly recommended but I suggest starting without one. You can always add one if it's not loud enough.

I did just the front speakers first... Its a big enough improvement that you can actually hear the music when moving 70-80 mph.
Adding the amp made it even better.

Expect to be able to hear the music clearly now, but don't expect to be blown away.

I did that first also. It is still way better than stock. The amp makes a huge improvement on top of that imo. May be something to think about down the road. The Ultrasound package I just installed is sweet.
