You can use them without an aftermarket amp. 97 XD has an aftermarket JVC headunit in it with Polk Audio speakers & zero noise thru the speakers. When I fixed the dash I found a pair of those. They were kinda taking up room, removed em temporarily & oh man did it sound awful without them (engine noise/alternator noise) Slapped back in & super quiet. You can get a pair on ebay for 12.00.

Your new stereo has probably insufficient 12V DC filtering. The stock stereo has a big toroid choke to filter out noise coming from the ignition and the 3 phase AC alternator which gets on the 12V supply. You can see that by measuring with an oscilloscope.
These stereos are made in China nowadays, not like the solid stock one which was made in Japan. The choke inductance is 1mH followed by a 4700uF block capacitor to ground (pls see picture). You could try a DC filter like these:
