Is my factory wiring inadequate for my Rockford Fosgate speakers?

[Anthony_76]

I got a new Kenwood deck with two 6.5" Rockford Fosgate for the doors, two tweeters and some RF for the rears. All my factory wiring is still present. I am thinking why should I use my factory wiring and sacrifice sound quality. The kid at Bestbuy said that my factory wiring is rated for at least 100 RMS, and my deck is rated at 22 RMS.
Opinions, questions, concerns?
Thanks guys!

Door speakers you can use factory wiring for plenty watts. 100rms is a good number to say since most speakers are 40wrms and down. You need to find something really high end to need to upgrade wiring. Pm me with any stereo questions

My 6x9s are 75rms, 150watt peak. Should I upgrade my wiring for my rear 6x9s?

Your deck isn't putting out 75rms. Unless you're amped then no

Are you insinuating I should get an amp?

Go big or go home. 5-channel is the way to go. 4 speakers and one sub.

I am NOT putting in a sub, I don't like them and they are unnecessary and I listen to classic country and classic rock ('50s-'70s) not rap and that nasty garbage of today. I HATE the boom and rattling and shaking subs do, not good for your car, as if my 5-speed doesn't vibrate enough already...
I will eventually put in an amp.

Personally I like small subs. Not insane, been there done that. I have just one 10" and I listen to mostly country.

 

[Anthony_76]

What would a 10" sub do for me?
5 channel needed for a sub or no?

I would do a solid 8", like a JL W3. You don't need a 5 channel, and that sub couldn't handle it anyways. Just have a separate amp for the sub.

 

[Anthony_76]

Would that be cheapest?
(Not that I'm cheap, 'cos I have a $400 speaker system)

Check out crutchfield.com. They have great prices

^Good info, I was wondering what wouldnt be overkill for the punk/hardcore genre in a daily. I just like the feel of the double kicks and skank beats, but not enough to disrupt my mirrors.

 

[Anthony_76]

Where do you think I got all this?
Crutchfield of course!

A mid-grade 10". Rockford Fosgate would be a good choice. Also sealed boxes are better for country/rock. Ported are louder in general

It's ridiculous how much business they take from me

 

[Anthony_76]

I have a feeling it's going to be the same for me...

Thank you!

Okay, sounds like that's what I'll do, so everything will be Rockford Fosgate except the deck...
