My car speakers are a little fuzzy although they can get to a pretty decent volume. I want to put a Rockford Fosgate amp in the car ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcat17080&type=page&qp=crootcategoryid%23%23-1%23%23-1~~q70726f63657373696e6774696d653a3e313930302d30312d3031~~cabcat0300000%23%230%23%237n~~cabcat0302000%23%230%23%2343~~cabcat0302001%23%230%23%23t~~cabcat0302003%23%230%23%23b~~nf81||436c617373204142&list=y&nrp=15&sc=carSP&ks=960&usc=abcat0300000&sp=&list=y&iht=n&st=processingtime%3A%3E1900-01-01 ) but I do not have a Radio deck/ Radio head installed in the car. Would the amp still clear up the sound and put a lot more volume and power into the car as it is without the custom radio deck or do I have to buy the radio deck. Any information would be helpful, yet I do not really want to modify my dash that's why I'm wondering if only the amp will do.
 
Besides the fact that is a mono amp for a subwoofer, installing that would likely blow out your car's factory speakers. Start with decent set of speakers.....
 
If these are stock speakers then no, they area already pretty much maxed, which is why they are fuzzy... and you would need a new aftermarket deck for remote wire/signal cables ect... but Alpine has a WONDERFUL line of decks and what you have to realize is there are a couple things you can do to clear up the quality.... #1 and formost is a nice deck... nice aftermarket decks clean up the quality of sound to your speakrs and amplify them themselves once again if its stock speakers an aftermarket deck will pretty much max them out on power because most all aftermarket decks put out around 12-22 watts RMS for 4 channels
i own an alpine CDA-9887 and it puts out 18 watts RMS x 4 channels more than my 2 stock speakers can handle.
Numero uno is a deck man its by far the most important thing in beggining a soundsystem.
Alpine has a great line of aftermarket decks "even for those strapped for cash.
