Which car speakers best to support bass?

[WesselRestbrook]

I got a 12 inch powered Rockford subwoofer and its really fu*king good but I have factory stereo and factory speakers. The speakers are sounding like they are gonna blow out if I continue hearing music and there is no setting to make all the bass come from subwoofer rather than my door speakers. Which car speakers are best and can handle loud music. 6.5 inch speaker by the way. Thank you.

Bass blockers with about a 100hz filter on every mid range.

I would think the stock system should perform adequately without the inclusions of inline resistors (bass blockers). If your stock speakers, being driven off your stock headunit (or stock amp) are being over driven when pushing your subs to the audible point you desire, then dial back the h/u's volume knob a bit until the stock speakers are not distorting, and adjust the subwoofer amplifier's gain (higher) to compensate. Or take the next logical step in the car audio hobby, and look into aftermarket front stage speakers. Sound deadening your front doors is always good advice as well.

There's really no best. Do you have a budget to work with?

depending on the car, a deck might be the better use of some coin. Better eq's, active hpf instead of bass blockers etc etc etc
