i have a 2005 ex SE... i like the head unit and i dont wanna change it.. i want it to hit harder.. but not really really loud.... just a like 30-40% harder than stocks.... now my question is.... get some speakers wit more bass? (friend put some sony explods in his old vic and they hit hard enough for me) or get an amp and a sub?... also is there a hugggeeeee difference in teh power given off of this head unit i have now.. and an after market one?

If you get speakers do not get sony x-plod their stuff is crap, there is better stuff out there for same price. A good set up would be component speakers, 4 channel amp, one 12 inch sub, and mono amp. If you wanna have more bass then you would need two twelves or one 15 and a cap as well.
I have alpine type r components all the way around, with mrv 540 amp, and it sounds amazing. i do not have subs, so i lack real bass cause the typre r are only meant for highs and mids not lows. I might get subs one day, but i woud rather have rims now!

Yes there is a huge difference between your head unit output and an after market one, but it does not matter because if you buy new speaker you will want to get a 4 channel amp, so the HU output does not matter. It would also be wise to get a better HU because if you do not then you will not be using the full potential of your amp/speaker because stock HU does not have RCA outputs.
If all you are worried about is hittin harder, not sound quality, get new HU, mono amp and sub.

wow... thats a lot of info.. thanks.. but i would like sound quality as well as bass... 2 12"s is too much for me for sure.. one 12" will most likely do... thats y i think id rather just get some speakers.. but im not too sure... also.. what are component speakers?... also.. the sonys sounded pretty good to me.. haha so for a person who like sounds like where u can hear the song and the bass hits... ( not extremely loud to where all u hear is bass) wat should i do?
