I was looking at CD Receivers on line, Sony Pioneer, in the $120 range, and all of them were 15 & 17 watts per channel. After I get the Polk speakers installed, I'll see if I need a small amp, then contact the audio guy above.
Thanks |

I recommend that you stick to your KISS Principle and get a HU with (more than) enough power. It just complicates things when you start adding components.

Hey, I got the Polk speakers installed with no issues. Sound way better than the originals. No need for any further upgrade or costs. Just FYI, Polk speakers do not come with the female slide on (spade) terminals that attach to the existing speaker wires. And no where could I find the sizes in the manual or on line. So ask the sales person you are dealing with, to be sure you get what you need. Buying them at Autozone is pricy 'cause they are only available on larger quantiles. Don't need 20 or 50 of each size (at $6.00 each package) to add to the cost of the upgrade.
Thanks for the feedback. Last edited by TexasChuck; 10-02-2014 at 03:17 PM. Reason: Edit |
