I was considering purchasing this headunit: PIONEER 2DIN 7" DVD USB BT http://www.jbhifi.com.au/car-sound-gps-navigation/av-navigation/pioneer/2din-7-inch-dvd-usb-bt-sku-90101/
but it only has one rca and i will be using it for my jl audio sub. Just wondering since i dont haven another rca for another amp for after market speakers is it worth running these jl audio ones (http://www.jbhifi.com.au/car-sound-gps-navigation/speakers/jl-audio/6-inch-speakers-sku-1077/) with out an amp? Since they are really only 50 watts rms?
please help me out

Or should i just stick with my already headunit the Kenwood KDCU553BT http://www.jbhifi.com.au/car-sound-gps-navigation/mp3-cd-tuners/kenwood/200-watt-cd-mp3-tuner-with-usb-sku-93553/ with more rca?

Those speakers aren't really in need of amplifying but in saying that, nearly every speak sounds better amplified and high passed, even standard speakers. In my experience (over 9 years in the industry) your much better off starting with a good head unit that way if you do want to add and amplifier or 3 later you can use the correct head unit outputs with the correct output settings.
