mptoledo - you say that you kept the stock speakers and amp... did you have one of the OEM amplifiers that is mounted in the front trunk near the spare tire?? did this strereo work wtih that amp?
i had considered upgrading my head unit to aftermarket, with oe like you bought, but someone on this forum had warned that our OEM amps often woudl not work, and then I'd be potentially buyign a stereo and another amp...and to me, it wasn't worth spending several hundred bucks when I have the top down most of the time and I"m just listening to my exhaust/intake... BUT, if I truly can just swap out my head unit for about $200/installed - and get something that will work with my OEM amp,a nd get a LOT better sound quality - I'd be interested!!
I too have rear speakers...the former owner put in the OEM rear speaker kit...so I have two little speakers behind each seat....
thanks for the info! as far as you know is the stock amp working with your new headunit???
