    Do i need an amp??

    i am currently "remodeling" my car and for the past year have puchased a lot of audio for it....currently i have an alpine m-450 mono amp that supports my 12" kicker comp vr that runs 800 watts dual 2 ohm impedance.....i have a sony aftermarket deck (sorry don't know which one), i am wanting to change out all my speakers which consist of a pair of each...5 1/4, 6x9, and 5x7...will i need an amp for the speakers, or will the deck be enough power, OR will the alpine be enough to support all of it...
    ...thanks...

    or less speakers or wire two sets of them to an 8 ohm load and run it off deck power (and get lower volume)
