[QUOTE="david22585, post: 8702786, member: 679432"] Hey everyone, I'm an idiot when it comes to car audio and I'm looking to upgrade the speakers on my 1993 Mustang. The car has the "premium" sound system with dash speakers. I'm having trouble in speaker selections from Best Buy. Here is the info for the car: [LIST] [*]6 speaker system, 2 dash, 2 door, 2 rear. [*]Dash speakers and Door speakers are wired in together from the factory. The factory had a simple amp that is pretty much useless. [*]Dash speakers are 3.5", door speakers are 5 1/4", rear are 5x7 but a 6x8 fits. [*]Head unit is basic with 4x50W RMS. [*]No plans to add an amp, just looking to improve the audio some from the factory speakers. [/LIST] Where I'm having sound troubles is that since the head unit has 4 channels with a 50W per channel max, and the door and dash speakers are wired together, I've read that it can cause issues with the radio and overloading it. I've also read to install bass blockers into the dash speakers as well, so looking for input on that as well. I'm not sure if I should have each channel speaker monomial output at 50W or above or as close to 50W as I can. For example, for the front channels since there are 2 speakers on each channel, should I do 35W in the door and 15W for the dash, or would 2 that add up above 50 be ok? All the speakers I've also seen are 4 ohms each, not sure how that plays into it as well since I'm a moron with audio. Also, the factory front speakers seem to have a tweeter in the center as well. Not sure if that makes a difference for what kind of speakers and selection I should be looking for as well. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
