I'm planning on powering my speakers with an Audiobahn 300 watt amp. Will the stock speakers be able to handle it or would i need to replace my speakers. *note* i dont want to be extremely loud... just a little bit louder than stock. any input is help.

yeah the stock deck seems underpowered. i would say use them and when they blow replace them.

Generally the stock speakers/HU are well matched. I dunno about giving them that much power over what the stock HU puts out. Going from ~20 watts/channel to 150 is a big jump

i agree....that is a bit for the little stockers to handle......but you could try.....and if they blow...just get new ones...

thanks... maybe i wont run the amp full power. i was using the 300 watt Audiobahn amp to power my subwoofer but it just wasnt cutting it so i got an 800 watt amp from my cousin for the sub. but now my sub drains out my speakers a lot more. i'll let ya guys know how it turns out.

I bet they will blow. I changed my tC head unit to a Kenwood pushing 45 watts and I blew the speakers.

how many watts is the stock hu?

Mainrodax

I've heard 40 watts/channel

The stock HU is 40 watts/channel for sure, but it distorts
LONG before that.

While the stock speakers sound surprisingly good for a budget
box, I think they would pop pretty easy if driven with real
power.

This may be a silly question but are planning on running them full range. If so, they probably won't last long. In my other car I switched HU's from stock to after-market and just that difference caused my stock speakers to blow. I assume that's what did it.

If you use a crossover or capacitators the speakers should be alright for a while since they will not be getting the full range and the bass that goes with it.

cool. thanks for all the input guys.
