[QUOTE="elementxero, post: 2405737, member: 567619"] Yo-- Starting to sketch in ideas for my new setup on my brand new 2007 Mazda3 (love this car btw, best value ever I am nervous and extremely apprehensive about cutting into this 300-mile car, and from what I have read, in order to put in my own speaker wire I'd have to do just that, drill through the doors, etc. But I have room for 6.5's and tweeters and I always wanted components. My old cars were too old to fit them without massive fabrication (I'm not quite that DIY if you haven't noticed--too clumsy). So my call is to use the factory speaker wire and mounting locations (with a MDF plate for the 6.5s.....factory hole is 6x8). Since the factory wire is 18ga, I can't be pumping 125w per speaker safely (or can I?). Are there any GOOD component sets that are designed to run off 75wrms or less? 50wrms @ 4ohms would be great since I have a RF2002 laying around that I'll have to sell if I don't use. [/QUOTE]
