[QUOTE="d_dfw, post: 8272002, member: 661334"] The 3 1/2 inch center speaker in my Ford Taurus shows 25 watts / 8 ohms and I would like to replace it. All the replacements I find are 4 ohm and rated at various RMS. Such as this 5 - 25 RMS [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R3002CX/Infinity-Reference-X-REF-3002cfx.html"]Infinity 3002cfx[/URL]. According to this website, [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/spkrimp.htm"]Speaker Impedance vs Power Output[/URL], it appears that 25 watts is peak power for 8 ohms. And RMS would be 1/2 peak. So, I'm thinking I'm getting about 15 watts to this center speaker. And would I get about 25 watts if I replaced it with a 4 ohm upgrade, due to the increase in current? Do you think a 4 ohm / 25 watts RMS replacement would be a good idea? [/QUOTE]
