Power Handling - Soundstream

[RoboticCherry-Coke]

Hey guys,

I am looking at getting a set of Soundstream Picasso component speakers but are unsure about a few things.

The Soundstream site says that the Power Handling is 125 watts but some other sites I have looked at say that the RMS power is 125 watts. Is power handling and RMS the same? I have emailed Soundstream but haven't had a response.

These are the speakers I am looking at getting.

I have also been looking at getting these. Any opinions on what are a better set?
LOS Components

Cheers.

If you want to "sell" stuff on here you to become a sponsor, since we already have a car audio sponsor on here. And these speakers are in the USA, how would anyone warranty them?

To the OP, the Picasso speakers are 125wrms, but having a look at the specs I would go the LOS speakers, much bigger magnet, better efficiency, better power handling, and a better frequency range.

matee i no there in the usa, but my mate is a seller of these in australia, he gets them imported from usa, buy the company, he works with them, but over here,
& they are covered by warrenty,, i have bought stuff of him & recieved recipts ectt for it all & warrently shit,

not being an ass hole, at all but was just seeing if he was interested, in these, as you cant get them in australia, & are very good speakers.
i dont wanna become a audio sponsorrr or seller, mate, not interested in that, just thought ide let this guy no aboutt these kk

Ok cool thanks for that acarmody. Well the LOS speakers are a bit cheaper on RYDA so I might look into getting them.

My biggest concern about getting these is that I have amped speakers in the rear so these would be to replace my front stock speakers. Now my rear speakers are just Pioneer speakers with 35wrms. Being that this is the case are the soundstreams going to overpower the rears to much and am I going to have to replace them as well?

[acarmody]

Have you got an amp for the front speakers?

EDIT: Ideally you would want the front speakers to overpower the rear speakers, as you want the music to sound like its coming from in front of you.

I don't have an amp for them yet but I plan on getting an amp at the same time.

I was looking at getting this one. Ryda Car Audio - Pioneer GM-5400T 2 Channel Car Amplifier($264.85)
