Question about speaker performance?

[Kat_Daddy]

with that being said, are the pioneers a wise chioce or not. Am i understanding this db to wattage ratio correctly. Am i thinkin along the right lines???

If your looking for some hard hitting stuff than requiring more wattage is actually a good thing. Don't think of it as requiring more, but rather being able to handle more. This means your able to push the speakers harder and they will still sound un-distorted at higher volumes. That being said if your just looking for a factory upgrade and not lookin to get near comp level than IMO pioneer is fine but there are many other choices you could consider that may give a similar result but cost less.

One last question, what do u think about Alpine SPS-690A 50 watters. Their rms is 50 and the h.u. 's peak is 50. So they should be able to take whatever the radio givin. At the same time their wattage is not so high that i have to blast the h.u. for them to perform correctly...

Heres the specs i got for those speakers

Speaker Diameter: 6" x 9"
Nominal (RMS) Output Power: 50 Watt
Max (RMS) Output Power: 250 Watt
Response Bandwidth: 30 - 30000 Hz
Input Impedance: 4 Ohm

From what I understand your looking to upgrade for sound quality not to get it louder or more bass or anything like that right? While i'm not real familiar with your stock setup, in most cases replacing factory speakers will result in a improvement in sound quality. How much of an improvement depends on how good your current setup is. If your unhappy with the sound quality from your existing setup and want to upgrade it than i would say these would be ok. Its just that the amount of improvement for some people isnt enough to justify the cost.
