So you never answered the question on your other post...are you just replacing the radio and keeping the stock speakers?
There's a reason behind me asking this question.

SBates are you in need of a stock head? I still have mine. It was in perfect working condition when I took it out.

No sir. Just questioning the compatibility of what he's installing if he's still using the stock speakers.

Then you should be fine. A lot of guys do not realize when they change out the HU and keep the stock speakers that in most cases they're not compatible. Reason being is the stock speakers are 2ohm and most aftermarket HU's are only compatible with 4ohm speakers if not using an amp.

100%!!
The aquatic is 2 ohm stable, and will give a good improvement in volume over stock hu
For the guy who wants a basic improvement, it will do fine.
I ran one for a year or so with zero issues.
