Using Stock Wiring?

I just bought my speakers (rear 6x9 100 RMS and fronts 6.5 50 RMS).

Can I use my stock wiring and have the same sound quality or do I have to rewire it with a better speaker cables

Thanks!

Stock honda wire is good for up to 0-70 watt rms with no problem. Anything more I would change it. I have in my personal honda car sent 100rms thru it before. I do not reccommend it. There was sq issues and heated wires and heated amp. But this was with the music blaring.

Re: Using Stock Wiring?

With a in-dash HU powering your system, your fine with the stock wiring. I would beef up the 12V memory lead and ground to a high power HU before considering replacing the factory speaker wire. Generaly, if I install a larger amplifier (75-100wRMS) I will replace the factory speaker wiring. The rears are the easy part, the doors are the hard part.
