Ive got a set of component speakers, and a 50x4 w headunit. The speakers are around 90w rms, and i set the headunit to the front at about 3. But i can't have it too loud as the speakers start distorting, surely with the speakers able to handle 90w and the unit sending out 50w to each speaker there shouldn't be a problem?
What can i do to solve it?
Hope ive explained it all clear enough, cheers.

the 50x4 off the headunit is normally the peak value is it not? which equates to about 20watts rms.
From what i know speakers distort if you underpower them. I would say buy a 2 channel amp (100watts x 2) and amp them as you will be able to get a lot more volume without any distortion.

To get decent sound you need to amp the speakers. Headunits simply do not give clean signals when you turn the volume up. Its not your speakers that are at fault, your headunit will be sending a clipped signal to them. This can damage your speakers if you do it a lot.

how much will a cheap one cost me and what sort just for the speakers?
Don't intend on having a sub or anything you see so i want the best sound out of what i've got.
Cheers for the help

This one looks like a very good deal: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=4605&cadid=297936a339b1f09729c04a7ec6a9e8dd
Unless you go second hand, you won't find much better than that for that price
