Just installed new 6.5 inch subs from Amazon! Big difference for $40!!

 

Could you get us some more info on the speakers. Ive been trying to replace mine to no avail.

 

Are you still using the amp?

 

Interesting choice...



I did the same a few months ago. Unfortunately, my stock amp croaked about 17 minutes after installing these.

that is because you are trying to draw more power out of the amp than it is designed for and you are heating up your transistors to damaging levels. Everyone that does this mod should expect the same results. I would highly recommend finding subs with a lower power draw. Not sure if anyone cares but at the same time under-powering is the worst type of abuse you can give a speaker so you are doing even more damage to the subs than than you are to the amp! The power ratings should really be taken into account when dealing with speakers and amps.

 

not sure if it would fit but this should be perfect as far as impedance and and power handling goes:

chris to the rescue.

 

Sorry I didn't clarify... I fully expected the amp to die - I just wanted to see how long the poor turd could last. I was going to suggest getting an amp, but after offering suggestions to amazon customers and being attacked by n00bs with no brains, I just let it go. My fault.

They're powered by 200 watts and crank nicely.

I used to say this to people at least once a day when I worked at a big box store, "if you are just going to change one component of an equation you are setting your self up for trouble"(speaking of course about upgrading just a factory head unit or just a factory set of speakers to aftermarket). Your average factory audio system is 28-32 watts MAX power, yes total as in 7 or 8 watts per channel RMS (our systems fortunately are about 2X that with the separate amp) and you want to put in a speaker system that is rated at 200 total watts or more RMS? or power the 28-32 watt speaker system with a new head unit that puts out 60 watts RMS or more total power? sure it will sound great for a while but don't expect it to last too long. if you want a factory replacement you need to find a factory replacement, auto parts stores often carry them in single speaker applications for about $10-$20, unfortunately factory subs are harder to come by so you have to be a little more creative! If you want to upgrade you really should upgrade both the speaker and the amplifier/head unit together (and of course match the ratings up).
