Will a 200 watt car stereo unit be enough to power two 240watt and two 300 watt speakers? Will I need an amp?

Ford Focus 2003 wiring?

You could but it wouldn't be nearly loud enough. You probably will need at least one amp (for sub) as radio is generally enough for midrange and up.
I actually have 250watts RMS of Alpine power for my 80Hz and up drivers (had to brag).
Don't believe these jokers who say underpowering a speaker will blow it, WRONG! -Sending highly clipped (distorted) signals to speakers IS what kills them.
Also, 240watt and 300watt is the MAX rating. the rms for the speakers is more like 60watts and 75watts, respectively, but 15wrms(what your radio is really actually putting out) would be fine- but like I said, not loud enough for the rest of us.
Also, you could eventually get a nice 4ch. amp (say, 75wrms) for those speakers and they would be fine. Always time for upgrades.

JL Audio W7 and Kicker Solobaric L7!?

Yes. Speaker wattage usually refers to the maximum power they can handle (usually for a comparatively short time before blowing.) Having a slightly lower stereo wattage means they will last much longer. Your maximum volume will be a little lower, but it should still be plenty.

How do I install 15'' speakers into my car?


I used to have (back in the early '90s) 60 watt mean (320 watt peak) speakers, with a 180 watt system - it lasted forever.

Been wiring automotive stereo for years but this one scares me!?

yes u need an amp.

How do I run the power cord from my battery to the interior of my car for powering my speakers?

you will need a amplifier because of the watt diversity it would burn the stereo.

I live in Cupertino. looking for recommendations for local shop where I can get my car audio system upgraded?

They will work perfectly well without an amplifier; depending on your listening habits, they may sound better if you use an amplifier. You will not damage the speakers or the stereo if you don't use an amp.

2 kicker l7s question?

Maybe. First off, don't go by MAX or PEAK watts as this is not a real world means of measurement.

How would I hook up a new amp and sub to an already aftermarket setup powered by a 200 watt amp?


Watts RMS is a more accurate measurement of watts.

Where do you hook up the noise filters on a aftermarket stereo system with a sub and an amp??


Once you've got the watts thing down, you may find the stereo a bit weak, but it should work.

What is the difference between SQ and SPL subwoofers?

Yes, you will be just fine without an amp. Chances are those speakers are rated at their max power handling which does not mean squat. Rms handling is what is important. Plus full-range speakers do not require much power to run. If you do decide you wan't more volume out of your system all you would need for an amp is an amp is a four channel amp that can do a 100 watts rms per channel. For an example diamond audio makes some really nice four channel amps and they are at a really reasonable price on ebay.
