Of course a dedicated after market amp will be better than running the speakers from the deck. I also agree that the speakers are junk. So almost any new speakers will be an improvement from the stock ones. It all depends on how much time and or money you want to spend. The install job in your car was not done well, so to get back to stock it will take as much time as going with a new amp. I would just go with a 6 channel amp, new speakers and be done with it.
Ahh. Used to have a Macintosh 2300 amp. Close to a piece of wire with gain
