Hey guys, thank you for taking your time to read my post.
I have a 2010 Chevrolet Suburban and am in the process of restoring it to brand new. One thing I really want to change is upgrade that really old audio system. It comes factory with a Bose sound system which was great back then, but now is falling short and dosent give good sound quality anymore. I want to replace them with 6.5 Inch RockFord Fosgate speakers (300W) and heard Rockford is the best speaker brand out there and is on top of car audio with the clearest audio and best bass. I was wondering, could I run these with my factory head unit? I was reading that the factory head unit only pushes out about 25 watts and sometimes I read it can push out 200. Can the factory unit power 300 watt speakers? Is it necessary to add and wire a AMP? Also was wondering if 300 watt speakers were good.
Thank you so much for your time

Edit: does more watt mean better sound quality? Do I need 300 Watt?
