there is an external amplifier, but it's an additional item, not a required item as far as i know.
wayne's 101 projects book has an article on going from stock to 3rd party, so you can find some info there.

If you have a factory amplifier installed, then you can simply adapt the signal from your new stereo into the leads on the yellow plug, as I have done with this stereo installation. If not, then you simply hook up the speaker leads from the new stereo to the adapter that plugs into the brown connector.
