so you want to know the wattage the factory deck put's out?? I think you'd just be better off to install some entry level speakers from any of the big name manufacture's anything rated for say 50 rms per side and it will work. sound good. or sound Great!! most factory deck's I think kinda blow so a quick google may tell you the wattage. is it a delco deck? I did a quick search and found nothing just said am/fm cd player. either way most factory deck's won't put out much unless there is a system amp. oem stuff really isn't worth messing with unless your job is a paper route.

Lets look at it this way, Most aftermarket decks are "50"watts (actually 10 -15 watts rms at best) Per channel. And most often, the aftermarket decks have a lil more power that factory.... So....... there ya go lol

yea, i got some after market speakers, the front doors are 300 watts and the rears are 400 watts a piece.  just wanting to make sure that the watts put out by the stock deck will match up ok with my new speakers to sound good....ie will the stock deck put out too little or too much for my new speakers.

300 watt's and 400 watt's sounds quite hefty the magnets must be HUGE if that's rms wattage. either way the deck is for sure going to under power them, the should still sound quite a bit better but you will most definatly not get the most out of the speakers before it sounds like they are distorting, it will however be the deck that is making them sound like poo, cuz it will be clipping. :)
