Audio Suggestions - Stay stock or Upgrade

[JubjubW]

So my front passenger speaker didn't fare well after I unhooked it - may have loosened a wire...bass makes it all gurgled

I have a Clarion headunit in my basement that I will have to pull the model number off to get you information on it (I think its 50w x 4 plus some other goodies)...

Anyways - Im debating if I want to stick with my stock set up and just replace the front speakers (along with instructions how... I looked at them - they look impossible) or replace the headunit too... I have never had much luck replacing headunits... I do not want to splice wires and I want the aftermarket stereo mount kit that will hold the stereo still.....

all my vehicles had broken parts and did not hold things well... hell my K5 Blazer it was held in with washcloths on the bottom so it would not slide...

I am assuming they make quick connect kits? I want to be able to go back to stock if needed and not have to worry about speaker wires getting spliced

1996 Tahoe 4DR - has separate CD player from the regular headunit
