[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8661711, member: 676005"] Hello there mate! Thanks for posting your concern here! :veryhapp: That should be fine mate. No doubt you will be applying crossover to your speakers assuming you have a dedicated subwoofer in your car for bass duties. You see when you apply high pass to speakers, even to stock speakers, they can handle more power since they are not being fed 'full range' music signal. Another example is car tweeters that you can purchase. The original ratings of a tweeter could be 40rms but with the recommended crossover, it will handle 100rms in a system power, since the tweeter will work with a mid-bass driver to generate a more detailed sound and together, with a dedicated 6db/12db/24db crossover, they should work well in the given enclosure/ door mounted. I remember I ran 200rms to a 50rms component speaker but I was not feeding it 200rms on a daily basis, I may probably run 100 rms at low to moderate levels as long as the signal going to the speakers are clean, the speaker will play well. If I ran them hard on a daily basis, then I risk the life of the speakers and maybe I would eventually fry the voice coils and the tweeters will be the first to die since they are more sensitive to power ratings. Its like having a V8 engine in your car. Your speedometer states top speed of 300km / 186 miles but you will never use it to its full potential, but its reassuring to know you have the power to do so :cool: Hope this information is helpful to you mate! :cool: [ATTACH]2367._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
