CLarion Speakers says 8w? and 25W peak?

Question

Ok so my rear speakers in my car are clarion 6 1/2 inches but they say the nominal is 8w and the peak is 25w?? does this mean 80 and 250 or what.....my pioneer deck is 50w nominal and 240w peak...can i leave these in without worrying about turning the volume up to high? my front speakers are going to need to be replaced cuz i cant go very loud on most songs cuz the bass cracks the sound.....but if the back ones can handle it then ill leave them in.....so if somebody could clear this up that would be great!

Answer 1

It means 8 watts and 25 watts peak. Your pioneer deck is 50 x 4 so it is more like 13 watts per channel RMS. The rear speakers should be fine. If you are getting new ones for the front, you could fade it up front a little so the rear don't distort.

Answer 2

that peak value is peak to peak.. so you have 50 wats. and about 65 w peak.. so buy speakers that say 50 wats or to be safe 60 wats.. and the impedence has to be what the output says on the radio. ok..
