looks like alot o cut o paste
if you are planning to run an amp with built in crossover settings or an external electronic crossover (other than the one that comes in the component kit) then YES

if you are buying one from feebay like jensen/soundstorm/whatever the deal of the week is, and it lacks the built in or onboard adjustments for frequency then NO!

I was planning to just replace the speakers but maybe I will drop a nice amp.

can anyone give me any advice on a good amp and that isnt too expensive? thanks

Rockford Fosgate P3004 $299.00 most any retailer, good amp looks nice works great 1yr warrenty. or the P325.2 basicaly same thing just 06 version

The Kappas are 2 ohm, it's pretty mandatory to amp those with a 2 ohm stable amp.

i would suggest upgrading the headunit to something with 3 preouts. unless your not gonna get a sub, unless you want to install a two line out. i'm not sure what direction your heading with your stereo system.

i would suggest going with a nice 2channel for the front and running the back as rear fill and have them run off the stereo power.
