what's the wattage on manufacture HU?
 
i'm ready to upgrade, but i see my manufacturer HU is not strong enough to power my new speakers...but i don't want to blow them out so I need to know what the wattage is so i get something a little stronger and not something too strong or waste my money on something too strong....thanks guys, this should be a quick answer...also, how many equalizers and stuff does it have if any? like the bands?

Geez have some patience.

GXE's cassette deck are 60W
BOSE system is 200W
SE's with the non-bose CD-cassette deck were 120W.

that's bull, i just talked to IanS and he told me that this kenwood i was peeping (180 watts) had almost twice the amount the 95 year maxima GLE bose has....

Think whatever you want. I know what I wrote is true. Now, 200W total does not necessarily mean the Watts Root Mean Squared (RMS) is reflective of that 200W.

For example, I have a JVC ElKameleon deck which claims 40x4W. But the RMS wattage is 15 watts per channel. So that's 60W RMS. To put it into perspective, the stocker cassette deck in GXE's puts out around 2 watts RMS per channel even though it peaks at 15W per channel. Same thing goes for the BOSE deck. It may peak at 200W, but who knows what the RMS wattage is.

Before replying to someone who answered your question, think carefully because the amount of disrespect you show is not acceptable for this forum, where people are supposed to help each other.
