Volume Question: Alpine--> Xplod

[sporkHSP]

HU- Alpine CDM9803 50w x4 output
Speakers- Xplod 6.5 3-ways 50w output 200w input
the head unit goes up to 36, which i assume means 50w...
will it hurt either if i go all the way up to 36? maybe its because im used to the stock system with 15w but the 50watts seems super loud even at like 18... can the Xplods handle all the power without damage... and can the Head unit handle it without friing...?

The head unit will be fine, but I dont know about the speakers, I think you might hear some popping noises at that peak volume but you never know. I have a CDA9813 deck, and even with my stock bose speakers I can almost turn it up all the way, so I would hope you Xplods would be fine.

i dont think xplods can handle anything, those are the worst speakers ever, ive seen and witnessed them split and crack, totally junk

SONY DOES NOT DO CAR AUDIO. period

computers, portable audio, nice stuff, car audio, THEY SUCK!

sorry wally, gotta disagree there

they're new p-series subs...the pentagon shaped ones are pretty decent. Good entry level stuff. i've had my 12" 1200w (~350rms) for almost a year now and its great. it hasn't cracked or blown and i crank it up regularly. however they're OLDER explod stuff sucked.

i dunno about the subs, im talking about the speakers, like the 5.25's, and 6x9s

ive seen those things shit right out, the subs might me good, i dunno

[pimp86LX]

lol i've never heard the speakers so i guess i can't say their good :P

the sub isn't super great or anything, but for $120 brand new its really a good starting point.

Say no to Sony when it comes to car audio!

or rather, be objective and try everything before you buy.

Nah a friend of mine did a whole car with xplod stuff and it sounds like ass.

Im poor, i got them at the air force base here for like $80 a set flat w/ no tax.

[wallyyfm]

ah, base raping, i did that at fort drum and a friend from the airforce, got all kinds of nice shit dirt cheap

No way would it be possible. If you has some amp you would ba able to turn up the volume more but even with my infinity speaks I might go up to 16 and thats it.
