I'm running a stealthbox off a small Blaupunkt amp, with Polk speakers replacing the stock ones and still run off the head unit. It sounds great and is a simple, relatively lightweight solution. Upgrading speakers alone didn't make much difference IMO, what really did it was adding the subwoofer.

The sub made the biggest difference. The Alpine amp weighs <7lbs... a little more than a gallon of gasoline, less than a gallon of water.
