Thread: Car Audio

Honestly i've never been a fan of Pioneer or Kenwood so i'm kind of biased. But either way those Pioneer speakers are gonna need WAY more power than what that deck can supply. It's going to clip the signal, distort the sound, and ruin the speaker in the long run.

However the Kenwood speakers you linked are a MUCH better pair for the deck in terms of power rating.

Some people think that just because you have higher power rated speakers, you can turn the volume up higher. All it really does is distort and heat up the voice coils until they give in. This is also why stock speakers with a stock HU sound better than aftermarket speakers on a stock HU. They are power matched.
