Speaker upgrade on stock head unit CH ES

[GroceryGetter2.4]

Will the stock head unit be able to drive, say, 4ohm 25w RMS speakers?
I dont want to change head unit or add amps or wiring.
Pretty happy with the stock set up, just wouldnt mind a touch more clarity from some cheap and cheerful coaxials, but obviously not if its going to sound worse.
Any opinions or experience on doing this? Anyone know what the stock speakers or headunit are rated to? Its a CH ES lancer.
Cheers.

Most cars output 4x 100w frmo the headunit.
Changing your speakers that take 25w RMS will make the headunit become (again) the limiting factory in the system. You'll get some clarity, but double check this. I only know speaker stuff at facevalue. A handful of blokes here will be able to better advise (unfortunately i cant tag them right atm).

Cheers mate. 4x100 from the stock head unit? Is that a typo? In the past when i was young and dumb changeing better speakers into stock 80's head units i had lack lustre results, and assumed that the tiny output of the h.u. was the culprit and went so far as to find the cheapest crappiest lowest rated speakers i could find (which actually was better) but in hindsight it will be more about having the correct ohm rating and decent sensitivity.
Ill assume a 2006 h.u will be ok with new speakers.
Was thinking of getting these;

2 X Pairs of Pioneer TS-F1634R 200 Watt 6.5 Inch Speakers TSF1634R | eBay

Model # TSF1634R. The Pioneer TS-F1634R 6.5" 200W 2-Way Speakers are excellent choices to get the most out of your car stereo. They are designed with a shallow basket for versatile installation and feature a IMPP cone/88 dB and 4-ohm coil for improved sensitivity and reduced distortion.

4x100w is peak with the planets aligning lol, sorry i should have been more specific. Actual RMS would be closer to the like 5w rms range per speaker from the stock headunit.

You'll get marginally better sound clarity from new speakers with stock headunit, and vice versa. You really need to amp the speakers to get some loudness and quality, as the amp will do this hard work for you.

Anyways, i went and replaced all four with kenwoods from autobarn k1666s or some *poo* $44 at the moment which is cheap.
Did a nice job, traced both the oem speaker and new speaker templates onto 6mm mdf to make an adapter, bit of foam on top of the new speaker to replicate what was there, bluetac underneath for a nice seal against the car body. Scotch clips so i didnt have to cut wires.
Long story short, not worth it. if the stock dual cone paper units are in good nick, leave them in. They are pretty good. Otherwise go the full hack with headunit, wiring, amps, sub, which I am NOT going to get sucked into doing this time lol.
Might chuck the o.g's back in at some stage. *fudge*in 'rona boredom lol.
