Audio newby C4 install questions.
As one who listens to the engine rather than the stereo spend most of my time in Tech /Perf.
Stock radio in '87 has died and are upgrading to Cd /MP3 head unit to appease better half on long trips!
Assume factory Delco 10 ohms speaker are no good with aftermarket head unit?
What physical size speakers recommended for front / rear in stock location.Fronts are currently above dash , have seen pics of ones in door panel (poss later model) any benefits in this position?
Recommended wattage ratings for speakers.(Head unit 4 x 45W , no amp).Looking for nice clear sound , not excessive volume.
Suggestions appreciated.

Hope This Helps A Little
Ok bud first I'm going to tell you that installing my stereo in my vette was the hardest car I've ever installed one in. But it is doable. I also need to know if your car had the Bose package because they had different size speakers and they had a built in amp which would require you to run all new wires for each speaker. But if you want good sound I would go with an Alpine CDA-9826. But as for speakers I'm pretty sure that yours are different being is I have the Bose system but I if you want quality you want Alpine components or Infinity components.

Was Bose on build sheet but appears whole system has been changed to std radio / tape unit sometime.Speakers are not Bose amp units just normal Delco 6 x 9 10 Ohm unit (rears , haven't pulled fronts yet) but wiring appears stock so assume I can use it and splice cables at new head unit
