All the radio`s put out about the same watts, reall watts is proly about 15, you need a amp to crank the sound. if you get new speakers with a high wattage rating but don`t get a amp will will not get loud.

In my old jeep i restored i put A sony cost was $100 not the best but is very good digital sound, AM,FM,CD and U.S.B port for playing pandora and also will charge my phone.

I do have a amp and big speakers and that is where you get the loud from. I am just a laymen at this and just passing on what i have learned.

Just get a good name brand so you won't have to go thru this again in 6 months. Pioneer, Clarion, Kenwood, or JVC (in that order) are some good ones.

radio ?

For most all of my audio needs I goto Crutchfield.com
Good selection and decent pricing, customer service has always been good. I suggest a speaker upgrade with any system.

Bought a Kenwood at BestBuy. Took about a hour to install.
It works fine and is a upgrade from the old one . Thanks for the help.

Take a look at the memphis audio 15MCS6A speakers. Components with the mounting capability and ease of coaxial. I have them bought but not installed yet.
