Hi again every1. i know this is in the wrong section but i could do wiith a quick answer as i might need to bid on something on ebay.
Right my girlfriends got an aftermarket jvc cd player that is 4x50w output. now obviously i know that is max power not rms - no idea what that is but i imagine around 30-35w. Now its been hooked up 2 some 40w rms 5.25 speakers and it sounded okay but has started to get really distorted recently. now for her new car she wants to upgrade to 6.5 speakers but as her head unit only has one pre-out for her sub she can't amp the speakers. I have seen these speakers below on ebay but as they are 80w RMS will they sound okay on the head unit power alone and will it cause damage to either product?

quite simply, if she dont get a new head unit is there no point buying higher powered and more expensive speakers?
thanks in advance for all your help
