Which Speakers???

I don't know about you, but for me, unless i'm going to make a significant change in my setup... why waste the time or money. Thus, why i'm still running stock fronts & dual 8" subs.... don't have the time (or shop) to do my install properly yet.

Not sure if you overlooked the gift card. I'm asking for $50 in cash or gift cards to Best Buy or Fry's Electronics. I'll also put in $20-30 bucks (if they're absolutely worth it). So, technically, I'm willing to spend $50-$80. Just wondering what are some good speakers that I can get at either place. Those Blaupunkts look good, but like I mentioned, don't think they sell Blaupunkt at either store (at least I haven't seen them).

Who cares if your friends think its cool they arent driving it or paying for it. Spend the time to do it right for yourself and you will appreciate the ride even more.

Cool, thanks.

Now, another question just popped up in my head. I won't be running an external amp for what ever speakers I end up getting, and will only be powering them from my HU, a JVC KD-HDW10. It has 20w RMS and peaks at 50w (all x 4 speakers). So knowing this, would it be a bad idea to get a speaker whose RMS rating is more than 20 watts?

it doesn't matter.... RMS values are more of a selling tool than anything else.

it's a shame you won't have an external amp, they make a hell of a difference (if you start out with decent speakers).

I don't work, so I don't have an income for all the mods I want to do. I would like an external amp, but I really just don't have the extra cash. Just wondering about the RMS rating since I've heard that underpowering a speaker is bad.

there is no such thing as "underpowering"... people who say that have no clue what they are talking about. They are referring to clipped signals, but don't even know that they are talking about them.

again, no such thing as underpowering, and when you start hearing distortion, turn it down, something is wrong.

Don't expect much from the speakers on deck power and they'll be fine.
