Your 60 watt radio puts out 17.5 useable watts.

Lol that's right. Any head unit amp usually sounds like crap. You can pick up a cheap 4 channel amp by Rockford fosgate prime series for pretty cheap at no more than 50 watts rms for those walmart speakers. There are lots of brands that you can get a 4 channel or even a 5 channel for adding on a sub
