stock speaker wattage handling?
so anyone know what wattage the stock non-bose speakers are rated at?
i'm thinking about hooking this old 100w amp i have up to my 6x9'*..not sure if it would be overkill though..i have a lower wattage aftermarket CD player..i think they are getting about 30w each as of now..could they handle 80w without sounding like crap?

your better off spending $50 on a cheapo pair of speakers if you feel the need to use the amp
