Replacement speaker question
I have a 2010 STX Super Cab with the stock head unit and speakers. I would like to replace the stock muddy sounding speakers. I have been looking at Kenwood KFC-c6882ie 6x8 3 ways. They have a 92db sensitivity rating, 25 to 25k frequency response, and will run on 2 to 60 watts nominal. They also have a rubber suround.
Any opinions on this? I am going to have to stick with the stock head unit for a while so I thought a low power high sensitivity speaker would be best. Am I wrong on this. Thanks for any input.

You got it right, you want a 92 and up sensitivity rating, I dont believe the power affects anything. I am about to order some Infinity 6832-CF's for all 4 doors. Right now if you order two pair from crutchfield they throw in a decent 2way JVC amp, a guy could run the fronts off the amp via speaker level inputs and just leave the rears for fill. And if at some point you wanted to replace the FREE 2 way JVC amp with a 4way or 5 way, that portion of wiring is already done.

You should be fine with most coaxials off the head unit, you're on the right track checking sensitivity, the higher the better..
