Question:
I have an Alpine CDA-9855 with the ipod interface in a 2005 Ford F-150 with stock speakers. I have found the size speakers I can put in my truck, but I don't know anything about 2-way, 3-way or 4-way speakers to replace the stock ones. Can you explain the difference and make a recommendation? Also, my stock speakers in the rear doors are blown - how many watts do the new speakers need to be so I don't blow them out, too?
Answers:
The number is the amount of drivers in the speakers.
For example:
A subwoofer has only 1 driver...meaning it is a 1-way speaker.
As for a 3-way speaker will have 3 drivers on it. In other words...3 speakers in one. If you look closely at a 3-way speaker you can see that it will have a plastic thing in the middle with two tiny tweaters on it. Including the speaker itself will equal to 3 drivers. get it.
Why does my alpine cd changer have " error 03 " on the screen?
Now there are also different types of speakers.
There is regular speakers with the tweater mounted directly to the center of the speakers cone.
And there are component speakers.
Were the tweater is seperate from the speaker. These are known for better sound quality because the speakers lower notes dont distort the sound of the tweeter. This way the tweeter can produce crispier tweets. But these are harder to install and usually come with a crossover (a small box) that you will have to mount somewhere.

Now alpine head units usually rate at 18watts RMS - 50watts MAX x4.
So when shopping for speakers, the closer you get to those ratings that better they will bump. Buying speakers to powerful for the cd player wont bump as hard because the head unit doesnt got the power to move them.
Try to stay under 80watts RMS. A speaker at about 60-80watts RMS wont blow because the head unit doesnt got what it takes to blow them.

check on your information of your cd player and it will tell you how many watts your cd player puts out.. my guess is 50 watts so i would go with eclipse speakers from circuit city..they are around 120 for a set of 2HELP on new sony xplod speakers?
