I have a 2014, 1SS, with the base stereo system. I do not want to replace the head unit but I would like a bit more umph and clarity. From what I can gather, Kicker's are prolly the best bang for the buck but, if there's something I'm overlooking, please let me know. I don't listen to my radio often but when I do, I prefer for it to sound crisp and refined but not at the expense of other car parts. This is so far down on my list of priorities with the car but, it would be good to know. Thanks.
You will have better luck using the advanced search option for "Non-BA" in the thread topic only. The very first hit is a complete DIY with pictures and near perfect walk through on how to upgrade your stock non-ba system. As others have mentioned, if you upgrade your speakers and attempt to use your stock head unit for power then you will eventually damage them.

Unclear what you are referring to with "no one is using it in a Camaro". The PAC AA-GM44 has been the standard adapter for non-BA systems since 2009 and works quite well. It retails for $60 and widely available for under $30 these days. If you are worried about it not fitting your specific model then I would contact PAC or a local professional/experienced installer. Most retail shops will install your amp and speakers for "free", after bending you over on component pricing.
