I searched around a little bit didn't find this specific information (though my searching ability may just be lacking). Thanks guys.
If you're looking to get a specialty head unit like a McIntosh or Denon without an amp, you might need one (Crossfire brand if you're old school). But there are a lot of good head units with plenty of power. I sourced an NOS Pioneer DEH-P9600 MP myself. If it blows you're not looking at a $2k bill
