S2000 Forums - View Single Post - Advice on reasonable audio upgrades please?

I don't know much about audio systems so can anyone put numbers to what kind of upgrades you're talking about?

How many watts is the stock headunit and how much can you upgrade to before you have to start using an amp? How much power can the stock speakers take (what kind are they each)? Etc.

I am also looking for a reasonably priced, moderate upgrade to my S2000 stereo system. Getting the modifry DCI and a compatible hu seems easy, but I'd like to know what kind of power to look for or if that even matters. Thanks.
