Technical Speaker Wattage

[oXRUSSXo]

Hi im looking at buying these speakers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JVC-600W-...OOR-SHELF-COAXIAL-SPEAKERS-PAIR-/191153266996

I was going to fit them in the doors.

May be a silly question but what difference does the wattage of the speaker make and do you have to have a stereo with high wattage to see a difference with the speakers?

Hope someone understands what i mean

Thanks

300W Peak/30W RMS Power (per speaker)

found this on google, so he is basically selling 30W speakers, fiat factory ones are probably better

RMS power vs. peak power
Don't be confused by "peak power" and "RMS power" ratings. Simply put, RMS wattage ratings are a measure of continuous power — while different manufacturers will use somewhat different methods to come up with these figures, it's usually a more "real-life" rating of your equipment's capabilities. Peak power, on the other hand, doesn't try to reflect realistic operation. It's simply a measure of how much power can be generated or handled for very short bursts.

bearing in mind most HU only out 4x50w's

But any speakers are going to sound better vs stock, thats a given fact, hence why i've swapped mine

Running Alpin S-type, and there much better vs stock

Thanks for the reply Ziggy122 any chance you could link me to your speakers. All that comes up for me is jag s types

I might go with those that i linked earlier depending on prices

Hi!

If you power those speakers from head unit, you should buy speakers with high sensitivity dB (W/m). You will only get about 13w rms power from head unit so you will be louder with high sensitivity speakers. Speakers power rating isn't important, usually just advertising trick with cheaper speakers. Normally lower rms rating -> higher sensitivity.
