Default Factory HU power

I have the plain little screen sync radio. Regular cab so it's just door and A-pillars tweeters with a center speaker. From what I understand the factory HU is rated about 15 per channel. So I'm getting about 15 watts to the door and tweeters per channel combined?

The reason I asked is I bought components to replace the factory speakers. The crossover for em has the wires running out for the mids and tweeters. Just wondering the best way to wire em up.

Wasn't planning on getting an amp for the front speakers but might end up doing it.

Got a self amplified sub for behind the seat.

Disconnect the center - wire the head unit outputs to your new crossover input, and then outputs to the tweets and mids.

Does the center speaker draw power from each channel?

Not sure exactly how it is wired but it is a combined signal from the left and right. Pretty useless.
