I have a 2000 XLT with the 4-door extended cab and a no-name CD receiver. I listen to a lot of jazz/R&B and the stock system, while adequate, just does not cut it any more. I had pretty much taken it for granted that I would have to replace the head unit to get a decent sound, but according to my old man, the stock unit is a Philco and ought to be pretty decent. I have looked high and low on the Internet, but I cannot find the stats on the stock head unit for my Ranger.
All I have been able to find out is that the stock speakers (there are four, one in each door) are 25 watts apiece... but how much power is the amp putting out? Does it have a preamp (doubtful), in the eventuality of my putting a modest-sized woofer and amp in the back? Is an aftermarket preamp available for it?
Inquiring minds want to know! (Especially if it'll save me $100+....)
