    Stock Speakers Dead..recommendations

    So I just found out my driver side speaker blew and I'm looking to purchase some new speakers for the front doors since I do a lot of long distance driving in my corolla.

    Any recommendations? I want something that gives a little bit more bass since the stock speakers produces quite a lot of treble. Also I am running on a Pioneer DEH-2500 aftermarket deck that produces 22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels (got it 5 years ago).

    I'm confused about the RMS on the speakers because the power range on a lot of speakers range from 2-30 watts but some like alpine, kicker, and polk audio range from 2-80 watts or 6-50watts... and I'm assuming my pioneer deck produces only 22watts rms? would I benefit getting a speaker with higher rms?

    currently looking at the following models:

    Alpine SPS-600

    Polk Audio db651s

    Kicker 07DS600

    Open to any comments and info , thanks!

    he's asking what RMS stands for, which is constant wattage output, and the MAX WATTS!!!!! ZOMG!!!! is the max wattage pulse it can support before blowing to hell

    I usually try to match the RMS and forget about the max wattage

    usually alpine speakers are good, but you want bass in the front doors... er, I do not know any 6.5 speakers that make a good bass per se, physics you know.

    but those marine certified alpines are a good choice... why? those front door speakers in my car get wet... so I might be getting them (broken plastic)
