It's been discussed on the forum before, but to reiterate, you're better off spending the money on a decent aftermarket head unit and keeping the stock speakers, rather than buying aftermarket speakers that you're powering with the stock head unit.

The RMS power, which is what really counts, is terribly low on the stock head unit. Your aftermarket speakers will be woefully under powered by the stock head unit and the distortion at higher volume will wear and tear on them. With an aftermarket head unit (cleaner signal and more RMS power) you'd be surprised how much better your stock speakers will sound. I'm currently running an aftermarket head unit with stock speakers until I find the door speakers, sub and amp I want. The difference in sound I got from the stock speakers after installing the aftermarket head unit was significant.

So, I made a terrible mistake ordering these?
All I want is just a tic of better sound. The only thing I am afraid of is to make things even worse. Is that the case here? Really I don't mind if the quality stays the same. I do mind if it gets worse.

Also what's your aftermarket head unit?
How much u spent on it?
And if I put an amplifier on the stock headunit will it affect the rms power? Can I make more rms power with an amplifier? (Because the cost of an aftermarket headunit is much much higher that the amplifier install)
