While I have no idea how many watts that particular OEM radio puts out, in general factory stereo equipment is rated between 4 and 12 watts RMS. Without getting into why you would put an OEM radio (especially out of a Kia) into another vehicle, if you list the brands and models of the speakers you are trying to power I'm sure we can recomend an amp to help you out.
