Power needed in a 2nd gen access cab?

I have a 20w head unit with stock speakers and wiring. I added a 125 w. powered sub under my driver's seat. Realistically, how much power do I need to add for a component set in the front doors? 45 watts sounds like it may be plenty. I don't need volume, just better quality. Would 80 watts suffice?

 

It depends on which speakers you choose to use.

 

I have my eye on Infinity Primus 6510C. I don't want anything with highs that are too bright.
They're 80 w rms.
Crutchfield is out of a lot of the amps I'm eyeing up.

 

Anything over like 45 Watts would be fine for those. Sensitivity isn’t great but impedance is under 3 Ohms.

 

Thanks. Just ordered those speakers and Kicker 46CXA360.4T. It's 60 w. We'll see how this works out.

 

• 65 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (90 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)

Yup, you're good to go.

 

Ordered @5pm yesterday, delivered to southeast Pa. @ 1pm today.
Crutchfield you is on top of it this season.

 

I’ve been trying to decipher this.

 

The amp you mentioned is rated for 65W at 4ohm, and 90W at 2ohm.
You bought 2.7ohm speakers, meaning the amp will be able to drive them with about 80W rms per channel. Which is exactly what those speakers ask for

 

Thanks, Destin. Major brainfart going on here.

 

Install is finished. Took about 4 hours including running speaker wires from index the passenger seat. I was pretty disappointed until I began setting the gain and working with my equalizer. There is much more definition and my sub doesn’t have to carry the entire bass load. Prog rock drums and bass guitar now sound tight. Synth, keyboard and violin sound very rich. Music I’ve listened to since the mid 70’s has more going on than I realized.

 

Yeah those older recordings sound better than we ever knew.

You know you’re there when you stop thinking you could have a better sounding stereo and start being critical about how some recordings sound.
