All my stock speakers are amped at about 75 watts each. I play it at 30 at almost all times.

i play it at around 30 every time. is it easy to ruin your stock speakers? like blow them from the bass??

Tripnbeats

yea nothing is impossible.....espcecially if ur listening to a bad MP3

tc_terencec

Your ears okay man?

I keep mine at around 1-2 all the time for CD/FM Radio, for some reason DVD-A tends to be a bit quieter so 3 for that

You guys amp stock speakers? Big difference?

I like them at about 7... If I'm feeling a little bit crazy then I pump them up to about 25... No more then that.

about rear deck rattles...I have to say I added a sub and it got BAD. Easy and cheap fix...
Stopped at walmart and bought polyfil...for about 3 bucks...lifted the rear deck panel and jambed some in to create a buffer between IT and the metal under (don't cover speakers, duh). DONE DEAL!

Oh yeah...depending on CD, or Ipod or radio anywhere from 15 to 40!

Rounder

3 for CDs.
4 for XM radio and regular radio.
5-6 for Ipod.
anywhere from 15-24 on HFL, it's quiet for some reason.

All of these are windows up.

Interesting. I was surprised at how much my stockers in the rear could take with an aftermarket amp. I'm pushing roughly 75 watts to them also and as long as it's crossed over at 100hz to keep them from bottoming, they're fine at 3X the factory power level.

In Florida, the windows are almost always up because of A/C.

I roll at about 6-7 unless Juke Box Hero comes on, then I crank it up to about 15 or until my ears bleed.... whichever happens first.

Note: The ELS system is so clean that the volume is deceptive. Some ppl don't consider it loud enough until things start buzzing and rattling. When I am demo-ing the system (stock) and turn it up moderately loud, people try to talk to me. I can see their lips moving but I hear nothing.

The only time I can really crank it up high is at highway speeds with the windows down. Not often.

yea the stocks can handle some decent power from a diff amp....not more than 30 real watts Id have to say... and they sound clean too but theres a day n night differnece if you upgrade and go all out on music.

I do have 4 channel amp sitting in my house. If I install the amp on to the stock speaker, will it sound alot better? Can my stock speakers handle the amps? Its a 800 watt amp.

Tezzeey

40 for almost 3 years everyday

lldknyll26

40 ? and your stock speakers are still fine?

ladiesman217

Tezzeey
