first off your radio by itself does not put out 160 watts per channel. no way. maybe 40x4 but not 160x4. and its not even 40 watts, its more like 10. anyway, YES! even with a head unit, a amp will really make your spears sound the way they were meant to be heard. the bass by itself is a ton better, much deeper. definatly get a amp.

If you decide to get an amp, each channel must match the watts RMS of each speaker at the proper impedance (ohms). Most speakers are 4 ohms.
If your thinking of adding subwoofers, this will help:
