Yea dude your first step with a factory amp in any stereo system is to get it the <u>FUCK</u> out of your car!! Factory amps (like all things factory in audio) are complete ass and need to be destroyed with a hammer.
And to you Sykik, factory amps can sometimes be strapped onto the back of the speaker (which probably isn't the case) or zip tied (or something similar) around the speakers.
As for the original questions... yea expect it. People that work a Circuit City are complete retards, and they are quite fun to mess around with. Indeed he is dead wrong. If anything those amps are robbing you of your dynamic control, because you probably don't have much volume range before your factory amps receive an already amplified signal and begin to distort. This is my experince with almost every single amplified system I've ever done (alot). Some speakers however are 2 ohm or 1 ohm or even a ½ or ¼ ohm like in some cars and which case you either need to go aftermarket and rewire or get a type of impedence matching device. I know the 1990ish MAXIs need this. Your best bet is to disable that amp and go strait from you big mean Sony deck!! So you can get all 15 Watts of 1~2 THD% ass ripping power!!
