does the amount of speakers matter when choosing the amp?
There are also classes of amps - I think that's in the FAQ.

89 sensitivity... it would definately benefit from an amp. also, you can improve hearing by getting a good, clean install... dampening the doors and mounting surface, for example.

To me, less distortion means clearer, cleaner sound. "Louder"?? Louder than what? Also, trust me stay away from the best buys and circuit city's for car audio. I worked at one. You would be as knowledgable or maybe more so by reading a couple basic articles online. IMO, with the sensitivity rating on your speakers, I would definatly run them with an amp.

if you're happy with the sound while sitting in your driveway at modest
volume, but it either won't get loud enough or it gets loud but starts to
sound bad at speed, an amp will help. but if it never sounds good to
you, an amp will only make the lousy sound louder.

so bottom line, an amp will NOT make the sound at regular volumes clearer, but will keep the music clear at higher volumes ONLY?
PS If I had to do it again I would buy the Alpine 9861 since I have a big dvd audio collection(they sound incredible) plus there is much more EQ.

the first... depends on the quality of the internal amplifier (to HU) and the external amplifier in comparison
