04+ Stock Speaker Ratings?

[Confusingboat]

Googling has returned literally no information on this topic. AC Delco doesn't even have speaker stuff on their site. Anyone know what the stock power ratings are for AC Delco speakers on the 04+ models (non-monsoon)? All I know is the fronts are 6.5's (or 6.75's? Different places say different things) and the rears are 6x9's. Also, I've seen information that suggests all 04+ models (both monsoon and non-monsoon) have an external amplifier on the rear deck -- correct or false?

Speaker ratings are meaningless. Have a klippel? Those results would help. I'm really not sure about all the sound options in 04+. I'm definitely not aware of a factory amp behind the glove box but I ran new wires n' such :/ I think the point I'd like to make is that your speaker selection determines the hardware necessary for your install.

If you look at my install photos my rear deck was absent an OEM amplifier before I added mine. Are you just trying to determine what stereo option came installed in your vehicle?

Not that anyone understands the results anyways.

Rofl. I'm aware of what my factory stereo setup is, I just read from a couple places that ALL factory setups on the 04+ had the amp on the rear deck (which is also why I was curious about the stock ratings, because I couldn't wrap my head around the idea of a base factory audio setup needing an external amp). While installing the new speakers (Infinity Kappa 692.9i's, $90.06 brand new after next-day shipping, which was only $4) I found out this was a falsity. Oh well though, they sound amazing compared to the stockers (which are in the process of going on Ebay) even without the amp.

FALSE. Only the monsoon package has an external amp.

FALSE. Only the monsoon package has an external amp.

While installing the new speakers...I found out this was a falsity.

Only the monsoon systems have the outboard amp.
