RMS handling is the continuos output. SO, I if I bought speakers with an 50watt RMS handling, would my 50x4 pioneer deck power them or too much. I was also thinking, since I will still have the stock speakers in the front for a llittle while, that I could fade the sound a little bit to the back. Im guessing this would increae the wattage going to the back? If not, the rest if pointless, but. Would that start to ditort the sound? Being it'd be something like 60in the back and 40 the the fronts? I believe the stock speakers up front wil last, but I don't wanna chance it. Also, what is good for Hz-kHz. Im really interested in picking up the lows, so a low hz is what I want, is 40 good?

Also, what are the specs of the factory Honda Accord Speakers in a 1993 Accord Ex?

I know it's a lot, but will someone help?

 

Your pioneer headunit may claim 50w, but it probably outputs about 22w RMS (and that is even stretching it). No worries about blowing your speakers with that.

You will not be able to divert power from front/rear or anything, it doesn't work that way. There are 50w of peak power available over 4 individual channels, each speaker is hooked to a channel.

Headunit amps are laughable, but sufficient if all you want is some music (better than stock). When approaching their claimed 22w RMS, it will begin to audibly distort and clip... An external amp is needed if you want to avoid this and play louder.


Frequency: You'll commonly hear that the human audible range is about 20hz to 20Khz; it varies slightly from person to person. I can hear well below 20hz given enough output (and research shows that most people can, actually), but really...in the subbass region, much of the impact is tactile...you FEEL it through perhaps bone-conduction.

Let's get a breakdown here, and we'll do it in octaves since that's the prevailing standard, and how EQs and most audio hardware "think":

20Hz - 40Hz : sub-bass
40Hz - 80Hz : bass
80Hz - 160Hz : mid-bass
160Hz - 2560Hz : midrange
2560Hz - 20480Hz : treble

Below 20hz and above ~20Khz = generally not considered much, but still commonly reproduced. I'm sure you can gather what they are... Below 20hz you can hear individual cycles pretty much...kinda cool, above 20Khz = High as hell.

Now this doesn't mean that all of a sudden when you cross from 159hz to 160hz...you're all of a sudden playing midrange - these are just general guidelines (There is no set standard which defines what each frequency corresponds to)

 

It all makes sense now, thanks a lot.

 

Your speakers will have no problem at all, they will sound a lot better with an amp though.
