Does anyone know how much output does 2002 Camry LE Head unit put out... i'm looking to upgrade it with another unit which outputs:
High Output Power Of 50 Watts (peak) x 4
2 Sets Of Pre-Amp Outputs: Front/Rear
Selectable Rear/Sub Pre-Amp Outputs

Would this be compatible with the factor installed speakers?

Realistically the HU from any OEM system would only output about 17 watts of power. Hooking up an aftermarket unit will make the OEM speakers sound better than the stock unit but will not damage the speaker's at all.

For the 1000th time this month... Don't even bother looking at peak power ratings on head units (or anything else, for that matter). There are little in the way of standards for peak wattage rating and it simply isn't information that is useful for making a buying decision. If you must look at wattage ratings, only think and talk about rms.
