[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3208499, member: 29706"] Depends on the brand for sure. All manufacturer's do not do use premium quality parts and often the most overlooked thing is the stereo. For talk radio the single speaker in the dash is fine when you are on a 1000 mile trip and want to listen to music it will make you pull your hair out. For me it's a case of a 15 year old vehicle that has 6 inch door speakers that are just a paper cone from the factory. Changing them out to some modern design speakers and tossing a 10 inch sub in the back seat is the only way to have it sound decent. And to the OP remember that the next weak link in the system will be the head unit. You can run more power to a speaker than it is rated for if the signal is clean, crank up the power on a head unit that can't output clean signal and it will start to fry the tweeters. Once you hear distortion in the sound turn it down about a quarter of the way and that is your max listening level. With a factory stereo you will want very efficient speakers if you want it loud or plan to make more changes. [URL]https://www.lifewire.com/amp-power-speaker-efficiency-3135077[/URL] [/QUOTE]
