Installed New speakers, I have a few questions...
Anybody know how much power the stock non H/K Amp in a R50 Mini cooper is putting out? I recently installed a polk db6501 speaker component set and I'm thinking about amping it up.

I didn't think a non-HK system had an amp. I would definitely amp them so you can truly utilize their awesomeness. Those are good speakers, well done.

The "Boost" radio in the non-HK system is belting out an eye-watering 5 watts/channel. (There is no outboard amp.)
