Not I, but check specifications on that stock amp...

Chances are, the amplifiers built into a new head unit will be more powerful and with less distortion than the stock Clarion amp. Almost are new CD receivers produce at least 20 watts RMS to four channes, some as high as 25, that with reasonably low distortion, say < 1% THD, over their entire powerband. This is quite incredible considering all the other stuff crammed into that tiny box, the limited voltage available, and extremely limited space for heat sinking.
I could be wrong, but check those specs...you might want to just ditch the stock amp altogether (though that would mean that you'd need to run some wires from your new deck to the stock speaker wires at your amp, should be no big deal though...or you could run all new wires to your speakers, if you are really adventurous. :) I've got a system with 460 watts RMS though (and that at < 0.1% distortion), and haven't felt the need to replace the wires, from an audiophile standpoint....
