good radio with no amp??
Is there a good radio I can install in my C3 that I don't have to use an amp with? I have 6X9 Pioneers 3 way in rear box and pioneer 4X6 3way in front dash. I have no extra room for amp. Can I just find a high power radio that does not need a sub? I will not be using a sub woofer. I like the music but will not give up space for amp. I will add XM for travel.
Thanks,tim

I did a quick search and found that panasonic makes some nice higher powered headunit. This one is rated at 31w rms. What are your wattage needs? what are the rms rating for your current speakers?
Here is the link to the headunit that i just looked up real quick

Thank you for your effort. I was thinking that one of the guys that worked in the area might have a choice. I guess I will just look arround and see what has the most power for the best buck.
Thanks again...

Check the size of the fuse on the radio. the largest one should have the biggest amp. That being said most $200 decks use the same amp chips so dont look for a deck that is going to blow one out of the others our of the water. RMS are not like HP its up the the MFG. to put a figure on the deck or amp( look for a 300wattl eq amp at the swap meet thats the size of a pack of smokes) You have room for a small amp near the removable storage boxes.
