Total Newb - Need help with picking speakers, tools and terms

[_S7V7N_]

10 watts Rms is not written by the hand of god. You can have variations. They have an integrated model, one that has navigation (tom tom). Or even the Pioneers that come in Scions can fit.

Pull your radio and get a model number. May even give rms. You speaker is rated as well. When I pulled my speaker I believe if I remember correct it had the rating on the magnet.

Max is usually double the Rms. So 20 watts max.(uneducated guess)

Major thing to remember is not to clip the signal.

CLIP THE SIGNAL ?
CUT THE WIRE IS THAT OR ?
I HAVE THE CRAPPY SQUARE LED STYLE, RADIO.
I HAVE THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER WRITTEN DOWN, AS THEY CHANGED THE UNIT A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, AND THEY LET ME HANG WITH THE TECH / AN OLD CO-WORKER WHILE HE DID THE RADIO. (old radio said CD IN, even when not in)
NO WRITINGS ON SPEAKER MAG IN TRUNK.
BUT, YEAH IT SEEMS NO MATTER WHAT SPEAKER, I WILL NEED TO GET ME AN AMP. I HAVE A 2 CHANNEL, BUT WANT A 4 CHANNEL.
SPEAKERS, I WANT POLK AUDIO, BUT AMPS, I AM AFRAID POLKS MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH IN THE AMP DEPARTMENT, AS MY PSW10 TOOK A DUMP 3 YEARS IN ON MY HOME AUDIO SUB AMP, LUCKILY, THEY GAVE ME A FREEBIE AMP AND IS WORKING SO FAR.
POLK'S, LOVE THEIR AUDIO QUALITY AND CLARITY AND POWER TAKING ABILITIES THOUGH. I DO KNOW, WITH FACTORY SPEAKERS, THE STOCK RADIO STRUGGLES, BUT THE STOCK RADIOS TUNING CAPABILITIES ARE GREAT (CAN GET GREENVILLE RADIO STATION IN CHARLOTTE AREA)

Good read for those who want it.
Basic definition = good enough.

TMI ?

Man you think a clipped signal is cutting wire.

You posted a question it got answered. Now its too much reading ? Lol.

I apologize for giving an in depth reply.

Best thing for you to do is go to an install shop or Best Buy. Have them install whatever system you choose.
