[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8832860, member: 614752"] Yes, usually speakers designed to hang with more power do so at the expense of efficiency. On the flip side people looking to spend a lot of money are looking to run more power these days so manufacturers often make their higher end lines hold more power so I'd say there's no set rule here. Now if something is "loud enough" is completely subjective and only you can decide whether to add an amp later. That said, I've also had good luck with Kicker components as well as Harmon International (JBL/Infinity) so really between those or Rockford I'd expect very comparable performance from brand to brand at each price point. I'd suggest you call up Crutchfield, ask them what fits, tell them what your goals are and they should be able to point you in the right direction. Their phone support before and after the sale are top notch and they're a useful resource if you know what you're trying to do but not sure what stuff on the market will get the job done. I usually use them in shopping head units as there are very specific features I'm usually after, but I'm sure the folks there could point you in the right direction on whatever else you're trying to do.
