Default Best speakers to use (powered by HU)?

Having just got an MY06, i'm a bit reluctant to start ripping up carpets etc to fit all the ICE stuff i had in my classic. I've just finished fitting my Kenwood head unit and I-pod adaptor and decided i'm just going to change the speakers and leave it at that (anybody want a Rockford amp, sub and front components... no crossover )

So which speakers are happy to run from a HU, think it quotes 4x50 peak (so about 4x30 realistically max). Not too fussed about spending a bit but don't want to get something that needs an amp to move it.

Cheers,

Tony.

Tony,
I would suggest depending on budget either Ininity 60.7cs or 6012i.

First thing to look for is their db/W. Sorry, I don´t know whats it in english...
Normally its about 90dB...The higher the better.

Sensitivity - normally quoted as dB, 1W/1m.

Assuming the manufacturer's specs are accurate, then a loudspeaker rated at 93dB 1W/1m, when powered at 30W rms, will be as loud as a 90dB 1W/1m loudspeaker powered at 60W rms.

Cheers guys,

All plans changed now as i've got some Kenwood crossovers (KPX F801s) to use with my rockford components (130mm).... don't ask why i needed crossovers , so i'll stick the amp in and sub now too .

Tony.
