How many watts do factory speakers have in a 2010 corolla?

Speakers are measured in Ohms not Watts. Watts is the amount of power you will be supplying to the speakers. In my 2009 Corolla the speakers can handle at least 400 Watts as this is what my OEM JBL system is pushing.

Can a 900 Watt amp power two 15 inch sub-woofers?

The question should be, can the two 15 inch sub-woofers handle 900 Watts? The speakers should have a power rating marked on them. If the speakers can handle 900 Watts, and they are suitably impedance matched with the amplifier, there should not be a problem.


Can 270 watt speakers damage a 125 watt amp?

Not unless the speakers are rated at a resistance (ohms) that is incompatible with the amp. Speakers don't generate power, the rating only tells you how much they can handle. So, speakers capable of up to 270 watts, can certainly handle 125 watts. However, if the amp is not 1-ohm stable and the speakers are 1-ohm, you could cause the amp to cut out and overheat depending on the protection mechanism of the amp.

Well mostly it depends on the peak wattage of your stereo, if you have a higher wattage stereo I would go with speakers that could handle your stereos watts or they will distort.

What should a person look for when buying car speakers?

When purchasing car speakers you'll need to know what size you need, the amount of watts they speakers can handle and their resistance level. You'll also need to understand the resistance level and wattage output of either the stereo or amplifier that is sending the power the signal to the speakers.
