[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8341785, member: 574798"] Yes, an amp for door speakers would be a lot better because headunit power barely makes any power. It will make your speakers sound much louder and clearer for so many reasons. You can just install the amp just like you would with a bass amp. Make sure you use good OFC wires and make sure it's grounded properly. $200-300 budget is not much to work with if you're looking for that "clean crisp sound". Try looking at the classified for used equipment. If you buy a component set, it will come with a crossover that's already pre tuned for you by the manufacture. After you set up the amp, you connect it to the separate crossovers that came with the set and wire each speaker individually. You have to figure out where to hide it also, sometimes you can just mount it inside the door itself. To answer your question: Crossover acts like a filter, cuts off a certain frequency range from a certain place and beyond. peak power you don't wanna look at, it does you no good. always look at rms power. Frequency response is the overall curve you get after everything is said and done. You want to know if there's any peaks that you wanna cut down or boost if you feel it's lacking.
