[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8671611, member: 650438"] nope no stock head unit has more than 5 watts rms. They cheap out on the output stage of the amplification a lot. Just put a multi-meter on AC voltage, put the prongs on your speakers and play music at the loudest and you'll see the wattage output which is next to nothing. Most people think you need a lot of wattage to get loud, nope, just 1 watt already gets you to a certain level of spl hence the db/ 1 watt sensitivity ratings on speakers. Needless to say if you want any real results on your system you need amplification, vehicle treatments at the very minimum for any kind of low end from aftermarket speakers. otherwise just go straight into a subwoofer and dont waste any money on rears.
