So your saying it's not worth putting in new speakers unless I put in an after market HU. Because the stock HU wouldn't be able to power them? Was just hoping for a better sound without having to upgrade the head unit.
Yeah that has been my general experience with the last five or six vehicles that I've had. Factory HUs are generally very underpowered. Some of the research that I did actually show that some Factory HUs don't even output full range sound, they cut out frequencies that the cheap factory speakers can't reproduce. Then when you replace them with aftermarket speakers, they don't get fed a compete signal.
Again, this has just been my general experience. In the 14 Ram I just traded in, I had the 5.0 and I used a line-out connector to add an amp and sub. I kept all the factory speakers and the factory head unit and was pretty happy with the way that it sounded.
