powering the 4 speakers

I just got a new truck and am planning a complete audio system. I already upgraded the deck and the 4 speakers to alpine deck and audiobahn componets. Will I notice a difference if I hook and amp up to them. I would be getting like an Audiobahn A4075HCQ. It puts out 75x4 RMS at 4 ohms. My deck puts out 23x4 RMS at 4 ohms. So is it worth the $300 or so?

Thanks,
-Kevin

How far up do you usually have the volume? If you like it loud, you'll probably want the amp, do to its ablility to play cleaner at higher volume levels.

Definitley hook the speakers up to the amp. You'll get a fuller sound to go with higher volume. Just be sure to set the gain properly so you wont damage the speakers (if you get noise or fluttering, lower the gain)
