Factory Headunit

Factory Headunit
I did a search already to see if there were any other posts that answered my question and I could not find any. I am going to buy aftermarket speakers as covered in other posts, my question is; does anyone know what the factory headunit on a non-bose system putts out in wattage to each channel (4) and would this change at all if it was a factory installed bose headunit.
I hope this wasn't posted before and somehow I missed it.

not too much.......not enough to run a decent set of comps well. maybe around 10 watts per channel. anything and everything will sound 100% better with a dedicated amp. A small hassel for a big reward.
I'm sure a bose system is better quality......the speakers that were taken out of my doors were pretty sad.
Why not go with an aftermarket deck and a small 4 channel......will get ALOT more function and control, not to mention sound......but remember, speakers are not for bass.

As for the bose amplified speakers simply bypass the amp and run your own wires.
For much less hassle just replace the headunit and the speakers. I will cost a bit more in the short run, but be more than worth it in the long run if you go w/an after market amplifier at some point. AS PREVIOUSLY POSTED SPEAKERS ARE NOT FOR BASS. Mid ranges such as 6x9's or 5x7's are ment as a filler not a sub woofer.

I understand speakers are not for bass, I have two 12" CompVR's at the moment but will probably switch to a 15" L7, so I will have my bass covered. My problem is, is that I don't like the idea of running a 4 channel amp from my back to the speakers. Also, I wasn't planning on switching headunits because I want to keep the steering wheel controls and the speed compensated volume. If I can keep both of those things with an aftermarket headunit then please let me know!

steerwing wheel controls yes, but will require an adaptor. like at pac-audio.com

RE: Factory Headunit
i feel the same way about the speed volume, i havent found one yet but i havent looked to hard. ive been working on other aspects so far. i am sure somebodys got to have one, i am also sure that it is one of the higher end models. let me and all of us know if you find one.

Oh wow I knew the bose systems had an amp, just like the monsoons, it was 2:00am! Sorry []
