Default A pretty ghetto system... need some help

ok so right now i have all the stock speakers in my 91 integra (which is 4) and i hooked them up to a JVC KD-G320 deck. So today i found some older speakers laying around so i made a box and set them up with 16 gauge 65 strand speaker wire... so i was just wondering if i can hook both of them up to my deck directly or would i need to get an amp? and if i can plug them into my deck (because it does have 2 pre outs (2.5v)) how would i do this?

One of the speakers is a Pioneer ts-1611 (i think its pretty old, 1983 or something)

and the other is from a guitar amp it takes 26 watts (a Peavey backstage it is called)

I agree with 94_DC4 save up the cash for some new speakers, although I would go with Infinity or even better, Eclipse. 94

PS... adding an amp can't hurt either, start by replacing front speakers first, and add a 2ch amp to drive them.

Oh no... It's definitely not hurting anything, considering you've got 6 speakers hooked to a headunit designed to power 4. Go right ahead and run the **** outta that setup... It'll sound great...

If you smoke. You and your headunit will have something in common. If you need anothor headunit like a jvc. I know someone with the same model that is selling the same one you are about to burn up. Why ask for help on something that you know you are going to do anyway? even when people tell you it will not work right? And then laugh at the people helping you.

Later on don't start a thread asking why your head unit doesn't work. We are trying to tell you it will damage your equipment and you still go and do it any way. Pretty much you are wasting our time.
