Distortion destroys (your ears as well as drivers) - most power ratings are thermal limits anyway. It's more complicated than that.

I don't understand what you are trying to explain, can you word it a little more simple? Are you trying to say I am more likely to burn out a driver underpowered than an overpowered driver?

I am mainly looking for a budget upgrade. I don't like how the door speakers distort/muddyup very easily(probably because of low hz). The dash speakers seem ok at best but I can't hear them clearly with the door speakers farting.

I do know that power of the stock amps are very very low, probably 15-25watts rms and 40-50watts max. With that low power, I should be looking mainly for low rms and high sensitivity drivers. With those drivers I think a "max rating" of about ~75+ watts will be good if I decide to install an amp later on.

Somebody suggested these on another thread but I am worried about the 2ohm rating. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...BL_GTO328.aspx
and these, 93db sensitivity.

So stock, its an 8 channel system?
All powered by the amps in the rear? or?
2 ways fronts+ stock tweeter sound ok? or should I look into components? or just eliminate the stock tweeter?
Suggestions for drivers?
Thanks!
