Okay, I read throught every FAQ on the monsoon system and what to use when replacing. I understand the 2-ohm and 4-ohm thing and that it needed to be around 45-RMS, so I found a set of 6.5 speakers for my rear-seat area, and they are 180Watts max & 35RMS nominal... so figuring that at 2-ohm the orginals were getting 300watts, and these speakers are 4-ohm, will that cut that in half and basically they are getting 150watts..... Just want to know if these are going to be okay... I got them cheap and they were new....???

 

how are you figuring the original speakers were receiving 300 watts ?

I think your replacements should be fine.

 

I read where someone thought they were getting 300watts, but maybe that was both... look through the FAQs, after reading about 10 of them I was starting to become confused... lol....

Thanks though,, I thought as long as I kept the RMS a little lower than original and not go over 45RMS, that I should be fine.

 

your backwards, you want speakers that can handle higher rms values, not lower. But still, something in the 30 to 40 range should be ok.

 

Oh,,, okay,,, if that is the case, then I will get the one up from this one that handles 50RMS.... thanks again,,,, told ya I was confused....

 

no problem
