what specs do you need?? How much power it is, the color codes? Weather or not it has a security feature and if it can dance and wiggle around .

Are you looking to upgrade from it or keep it in?

Hey

I don't have the specs you are asking, but I will tell you
this. A Kenwood aftermarket unit as you are describing will
exceed clarity and power massively. I would imagine the
stock unit delivers roughly 5-10 max RMS wattage.
the S/N ratio might be pretty clear, but the power ratings are
much higher on an aftermarket unit.
there is a lot of details to compare..

stock unit:

usually has cramped, cheap internal circuitry
a bulky steel chassi which doesnt dissipate heat good
Internal cramped inside close to tuner circuit board, inside gets warm.
total harmonic distortion usually exceeds .05 on factory units
rms wattage usually not more than 10 watts


aftermarket unit:

generally 40-50 watt head units
lighter, aluminum chassi for heat dissipation
high quality circuitry.
pre-amp out's for the use of outboard amps so stereo
volume doesnt have to be increased as high, thus reducing internal amplifier gain which would increase heat and distortion.
