Hi everyone,
Just another topic on speakers (Replacement for a 2010 i30 CRDi).

Job seems easy enough but I was wondering what is the Output of the stereo in Watt?
I want to upgrade the speakers only (Not interested in Amp or anything else).

So I was wondering what Wattage speakers I would be looking at as I do not want to go
too high so the stereo can't handle them.

Most speakers have a range of power for example Rated: 60W - Peak 350W or 35W-300W etc
Which value do I use when I need to know what my stereo will handle?

REGARDS

Higher wattage speakers wont overload the amp .. it is the other way around you have to worry about Niko  :cool: (should say in the manual what output the audio is?)

Most standard radios have 4 x 40-50 Watt, so don't buy anything that have less than 100 Watt nominal output.

Everyone needs to be careful about PMP wattage and RMS (the true measure) wattage, in this topic.
