wiring up alpine 9855r

I am planning to run some standard rainbow component speakers off the headunit. And i am wondering if i may need to upgrade the factory power wire to the headunit with a better guage? cause i heard its not wise to hook up a CD player to your car without being sure of wire guage. Then ive been told no my factory wire should be ok to handle the power draw.

Im just wondering what i should do? i REALLY dont want to have to change the factory power wire if possibly so im wondering what my options are should i try hook it up and see what happens? surely the power wire must be fused in the car.

Thanks for any information.

Edit: these ones to be exact speakers https://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/3967.html

bump anybody :( with any suggestions.

you will be fine with the standard power wire for the radio. I personally would run new speaker wire for your components, but then again, i wouldnt run components off of HU power. I would amp them.

Why wouldnt you run them off hu power? i mean yes i do plan to put in an amp i just cannot afford it at the moment. Whats so bad if you run off HU power?

And yes i am getting new speaker wire.

Just HU power isnt very much, and its not real clean power.

But it will be able to power the speakers right? enough to at least get some sound out lol.

Also since on subject on amps could you possible suggest me an amp i should consider buying when i do get around to purchasing one? bearing in mind i am only running component speakers no plan for subs etc.
