I got mine at Fry's they were $99

Cool, thanks.

Now, another question just popped up in my head. I won't be running an external amp for what ever speakers I end up getting, and will only be powering them from my HU, a JVC KD-HDW10. It has 20w RMS and peaks at 50w (all x 4 speakers). So knowing this, would it be a bad idea to get a speaker whose RMS rating is more than 20 watts?

When i had my speakers installed i had only stock radio setup. Then later on i put in a aftermarket deck and amplifier. It sounded lot better with just the stock deck still. Since you have a aftermarket deckwith more power you should be just fine.

it doesn't matter.... RMS values are more of a selling tool than anything else.

it's a shame you won't have an external amp, they make a hell of a difference (if you start out with decent speakers).

I don't work, so I don't have an income for all the mods I want to do. I would like an external amp, but I really just don't have the extra cash. Just wondering about the RMS rating since I've heard that underpowering a speaker is bad.

there is no such thing as "underpowering"... people who say that have no clue what they are talking about. They are referring to clipped signals, but don't even know that they are talking about them.

again, no such thing as underpowering, and when you start hearing distortion, turn it down, something is wrong.

Don't expect much from the speakers on deck power and they'll be fine.

Cool. hmmm, well, I had to switch plans on what my gift(s) will be. So I don't think I'll be going with speakers anymore. Plus, like you said, there may not actually be much of a difference if I stay on the cheaper side.
