I just recently purchased my brand new white 2013 RS a few days ago and I'm already looking at upgrading my sound system. I want to know the stock specs for all the speakers in the car along with the specs for the MyLink audio output, wattage wise. Ive done a few internet searches and have come up with nothing. Hoping anyone can help me out. thank you.

Erica, would you also have access to my Holden Barina's build sheet or can you only access the Chev ones?

I bought used. But I guess when I go to the dealer for an o/c, I might be able to get it....

Curious why anyone would want to know this?
The stock speakers suck compared to good ones and it has nothing to do with their wattage ratings.
The stock head unit's wattage is fairly low compared to a good setup, so once again meaningless.
Chances are, you're looking at 16-25 watts rms per channel into 4 ohms x 4 unless the system has a SMPS which I doubt. Tweeters are likely connected to the two front channels via a single capacitor each.
All of that said, there is far more to a quality audio system than wattage.

Do you know if the aftermarket Kicker subwoofer/amplifier system makes the stock system any better? I know that adding any one of these two systems will make any stock sound system sound better than what it is now, but is it worth the money? I'm sure it was designed with the idea of having the stock system remain stock, but maybe adding a GM "supported" Kicker upgrade to the car along with say aftermarket speakers in all six locations might do amazing things to the sound system?
I just like the idea of keeping everything stock (mainly the head unit) while maintaining a nice stock cosmetic look to everything......just tough to swallow an almost $1000.00 hit to the wallet! For that price, it better make it sound like your literally AT the concert, haha!

I'm sure it does.
When I buy my next Sonic I'll be going for that option without a doubt.

the kicker pack is NOT worth it. I had it then brought it back the money is way better spend on an actual amp and sub installed for cheaper.

Got the amp off the forum classifieds and could not be happier. Great price and huge improvement in volume and sound quality.
No comparison to my 10 speaker + sub in my suburban with 3 amps, but so much better than stock.
