I spent a bit of time starting the sound deadening process on my doors this afternoon. Yay for left over Raammat .

Anyway, in doing so I had some time to think about the setup. And while I really don't want to run wires all kinds of RCA and speaker wire through a car that I've only had for a month, ultimately I think it's the way I'll end up going, if for no other reason that I've got an amp and deck just sitting there.

Does anyone know what the RMS output is on the standard GP deck? It drives my Infinitys alright, though it's no where near as loud as my old JCV deck which I'm thinking I'll install.

I'll do some further investigating over the next couple of days and check back before I click buy. Hopefully someone here will be able to give me the thumbs up, as I've not worked with any of the newer GM hardware.

After I get my deck with the line-in installed, I'll worry about the amp. I forgot what a drag it was to use CDs. I guess my iPod's just spoiled me over the past two or three years.
