Right mate, you need to find out the RMS (rated) power of all the speakers, which I'm guessing is around 80W for the door speakers and 150W RMS for the 6x9's. | |

1 more question. I want 2 get a set of 400W or 500W 6x9's as well as front door 5.25 speakers. Say 4 example I go 4 the 500W 6x9's and the 180W speaker. Does that mean I need a amp around 1500W with 4 channels 2 power all 4 speakers. (Sorry if this question sounds stupid. I'ma bit of a novice about car audio. hence reason im here :lol: ) | |

quote: No problems mate, just bear it in mind. quote: Yea, it would, but wouldn't sound the best. In my current car, I had 270W max, 95W RMS speakers running off my 4x50W headunit. They ran fine, but distorted quite badly as soon as the volume was turned up relatively loud. After two weeks, I fitted my 290W max, 97W RMS amp to power them, and they now sound much better, and don't distort unless they are almost at max volume! | |

your head unit will play sound through any speakers but for better sound u could wire them to an amp | |

Its not the battery thats the problem, its the headunit that wont support them, as that can probably only kick out 50W per speaker maximum. | |

ez every1. I've got a set of 5.25 (13cm) JVC 250Watt coaxial speakers and I was wondering if my car battery alone would b able to support them. (I've got a feeling they're 2 powerful and would drain the battery) so im thinking I may need 2 wire them 2 am amp. What do u lot think? :wave::thumbs: |
