Does anyone know what the output of the stock HU is? Mine is the Delco AM/FM/CD with 7 band EQ.
I want to replace the rear 6x9 speakers as one of them is shot, I'll eventually replace the door mounted fronts as well. Any of the decent replacement speakers are rated for 35-100 watts continuous and so I'm wondering if the stock head unit will be able to power them at all. I realize that I'll need an amp to get the most out of them, but can I get by for a while before adding an amp to the system? I'd like to upgrade modestly over time, with a plan, but no subs or ear shredding volume is in the cards for me.
I've been partial to Polk over the years and leaning towards the DXi or DB lines.
