Re: Stock radio wattage.
somewhere around 16-20w total for the usuall delco
with 2 amp chips-all thirds as far as i know.
did find a delco from an'84 cadillac cimmaron that had
4 amp chips,so that one had twice the power of the
typical delco stereo.

Re: Stock radio wattage.
I'm curious- what is the difference between the stock radios from 3/4th gen cars and a new, aftermarket one? I mean in terms of sound quality and performance. Ideally I'd like to modify a stock radio to give new radio performance to keep the old looks. Thoughts?
