RE: Redneck Radios

Dennis,
Pretty cool find there. There are some others out there too.

Two things that I want to point out about speaker selection, that I 
didn't care for from those speakers.
1. The sensitivity needs to be as high as possible for maximum 
effeciency. The highest on those speakers was a 90dB. I have two cheapo 
Pioneer 4.5 speakers with 93dB or 94dB rating. The higher the number, 
the less power to run them.
2. The frequency response needs to be as low as possible to get a good 
full range sound without adding to the system. The lowest on these 
speakers was 40hz. My Pioneers are 25hz. The lower the number, the 
better the bass response.

This is for those guys that don't want to mess with all kinds of high 
wattage amps.
All I am running in my car right now, is my radio and the two speakers 
in the dash. It sounds great as is. I can listen to it with the windows 
down. It won't blast your ears out, or bother the neighbors, but it is 
good for me.
If you check those two ratings on your speakers, you won't have to spend 
$$$ for a good sounding stereo.
