Base (Not HiFi or H&K speakers) amp optios

I have ordered the Eton and JL audio front and rear speakers + the tweeter covers to fit to my BASE UK (not HiFi or H&K) speakers.

I'm concerned I won't be able to power them as I'm fairly sure I don't have an amp in the base system.

Can someone confirm if I can power them without issue.

If I can't, can someone recommend a cost effective amp and I am already essentially at my budget, and also how I can fit this amp?

I have just thought, would it be an option to add a H&K amp if I can find one cheap? Would that be possible?

Nick, the amp is likely located in the head unit. If the speakers currently work then the new speakers will work.

Concerned the standard head unit won't have enough power to power the new ones and it might result in them being very quiet, is that not the case?

You may have a better option (and easier install) of aftermarket amps if there is an ASD module in your F22.

Can you install an amp directly from the ASD module with a Technic harness?

It can be done, the wiring that you need to install an aftermarket amp is in there. No need to remove the OEM HU to get the input and output signals. The remote out wire is even in the ASD connector.
