There's nothing wrong with doing it, per se, just don't turn the volume up very loud. Stock speakers weren't designed to handle much power.

I have a MY04, I added an amp to the stock HU and front speakers. I used a line output converter to change the speaker level outputs to RCA level before feeding it to the amp. I get a lot more bass out of the stock speakers now.

I have actually amped my stock woofers with a Zapco Studio 300x and they sound pretty good! I'm very impressed with the quality of the stock components.

I was trying to fit a Oz Audio 180 CS component set. The tweeters are much too large, but I managed to fit them. The woofers are also much too large. The basket won't fit inside the stock plastic mount. In fact, I need about 3/4 to 1" of space for it to even fit inside the stock hole in the sheet metal. They're a 180 cm woofer(7"). I ended up needing to take my car on a trip so I just left in the Oz crossovers and tweeters and amped the stock woofers.
