Re: newb needs help
depends on what you're running. if you're running subs you desperately need the amp because the headunit can only push out a whimpy 20ish watts RMS while most amps will easily do at least 10x that.
running components or coaxial speakers, a better amp isn't nessicary, but it is a good idea. they can improve your overall sound as it'll provide more power for your speakers, so they can get louder without stressing out the head unit and making the speakers clip and sound like crap

Re: newb needs help
What are your goals? Do you want sound quality or do you want to be the loudest guy on the block? That deck is okay. When shopping for a sub, you need to look at the RMS power rating and not peak. The former is more important. With that said, that Pioneer is rated at 120 watts and that is by far the most wussiest sub i've ever seen. There are also much better brands of amps than Kenwood.
