so im buying a system for my truck, but im also redoing my interior, so first im gonna buy a HU, but im only gonna be running the speakers in the dash for a while, should i buy some cheap speakers and just replace them when ready, or can i buy some 4" component speakers, and not run a amp to them? if i buy the components will ne thing mess them up if i just run them through the deck?
I have 5.25" Components in my dash...With a little cutting anything can fit.
Id say to not cheap out with a "cheap" set of speakers...you will be replacing them quickly down the line. From my experience, an average set of components will run you between $100-200.
the only way you will damage speakers by underpowering them, is to demand too much from them and/or expect too much. If you crank the trebble, bass, and volume, it will ruin the speakers. If you adjust the setting sproperly and keep the volumes moderate, it will last until a mechanical failure occurs.
