[QUOTE="2023 LTZ, post: 8831944, member: 686684"] So a consideration about watts is their rms value. My jvc head unit boasts 50x4 watts and in small print reads 22wx4 rms. In actuality it has 22 watts per channel. That isn’t bad or enough for a quality speaker to sound its best. You mentioned those Rockford speakers having 300w. 300 is likely it’s “peak” watt capability. This is unrealistic in sssembling a system. If they’re component type speakers they’ll have a 1 or 2 way speaker and a tweeter. This would likely match your frontest speakers. A set of these may draw 75-125w rms. At that rate your original speaker wire is fine. Some choose to upgrade the wire but it’s an added cost and complexity which many choose to do. Many options are available for amps. Look for a 300-600x4 which would power the front stage and the second row speaker replacements. If it has those rear speakers above the rear door, those will add depth to the sound so consider doing those too. In that case look for a 6 channel amp. Look around this website or google using focused keywords like “hooking up an amp”. You’ll find a lot of info on how to do it. [/QUOTE]
