    speaker wattage

    I have a 1993 MGM with premium sound. Was wondering does anybody know the wattage of the stock speakers? Just ordered a Pioneer stereo from Crutchfield that has 14 watts per channel and was wondering how that would match up with the stock speakers.
    Thanks,
    Don.

    Stock speakers are probably 15 watts or something. You should be OK as long as you don't crank it like mad.

      Thanks gdt73. I spoke with the guy at Crutchfield before placing the order. I was thinking I wouldn't be able to find a stereo that would fit in the cavity of the old stereo. Thought I'd have to use a bracket to mount under the dash. Was pleasantly surprised when he told me the stereo would fit in a sleeve that would fit in the cavity.They are also sending a plug that I'll need to match with the wires on the back of the stereo, then just plug it in. Sounded pretty simple and easy. Hope it doesn't turn into a "walking through mud " ordeal.

        the only "trouble" you'll have is connecting the wire harness they are sending to the wire harness in the aftermarket stereo. Gots to match up about 13 or 14 wires IIRC. I always solder mine to be sure they won't pull apart... but crimps work fine too.

          Got the stereo in with a minimum of difficulty. Very satisfied with the stereo and with Crutchfield.
