    Someone told me that the door speakers have to be louder than the rear deck speakers so I was tryin to get some door speakers with a high sensitivity rating but the highest I could really find was 92db. Is this good or am I doing this wrong? (I am running them straight from my HU).

    Thanks.

    That is about as high as your gonna get unless you spend quite a bit of money I think. Infinity is higher sensitivity though, if you wanna look at those.

    jonnys right about infinity, but you can always just fade to the front a little.

    Also the Infinitys are 2-Ohm speakers, not 4. So they will tend to be a little louder. I have had good luck with the Reference series. The Kappa series had a high failure rate (this was a couple years ago). Thats why we quit selling the Kappas.

    The Reference series was very reliable.

    True Four Ohms— All Reference speakers feature two ohm voice coils. Original factory-installed speaker wiring in many cars is 18-22 gauge. This wire, and heating in the voice coil when power is applied, increase the impedance “seen” by the amplifier or head unit. The impedance of Reference Speakers has been adjusted to compensate for this increase and can be safely driven by any head unit.

    Are those gonna be loud? And no distortion when loud?

    your only running them off of the HU so they are only going to be loud to a point and then you will get distortion, but they are the most efficient so they will be louder than most other speakers.
