I HAVE THE CRAPPY SQUARE LED STYLE, RADIO.
I HAVE THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER WRITTEN DOWN, AS THEY CHANGED THE UNIT A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, AND THEY LET ME HANG WITH THE TECH / AN OLD CO-WORKER WHILE HE DID THE RADIO. (old radio said CD IN, even when not in)
NO WRITINGS ON SPEAKER MAG IN TRUNK.
BUT, YEAH IT SEEMS NO MATTER WHAT SPEAKER, I WILL NEED TO GET ME AN AMP. I HAVE A 2 CHANNEL, BUT WANT A 4 CHANNEL.
SPEAKERS, I WANT POLK AUDIO, BUT AMPS, I AM AFRAID POLKS MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH IN THE AMP DEPARTMENT, AS MY PSW10 TOOK A DUMP 3 YEARS IN ON MY HOME AUDIO SUB AMP, LUCKILY, THEY GAVE ME A FREEBIE AMP AND IS WORKING SO FAR.
POLK'S, LOVE THEIR AUDIO QUALITY AND CLARITY AND POWER TAKING ABILITIES THOUGH. I DO KNOW, WITH FACTORY SPEAKERS, THE STOCK RADIO STRUGGLES, BUT THE STOCK RADIOS TUNING CAPABILITIES ARE GREAT (CAN GET GREENVILLE RADIO STATION IN CHARLOTTE AREA)
