Not likely, but you can ALWAYS wreck speakers.  It's just a very very slim chance that you'll blow them running them off the headunit.

DISTORTION can kill speakers ....Even underpowered that much ...Sony also overrates power handling on those fairly heavy ...A TRUE 400watt amp will fry those 6X9's  Roll Eyes

He didn't say anything about a 400 watt amp.  That was what Sony rated his rears at.  It's all going to be run off the head unit. 

Also I don't know if Sony does it.  But Alpine puts both Peak and RMS on the boxes to let you know what is really coming out of the speaks.

I think I might have miss read Bad Venge's post anyway.  He might not have thought that you had an amp.  He was just saying if you decided to get an amp to combat distortion, that a 400 would kill your speaks because Sony lies about their handling capabilities.

But you should be ok.  If you start turning it up, and it starts to sound distorted, turn it down, and don't go up that high anymore.

you can still have distortion at low volume levels, your going to want an amp to push those properly.   If you can find and amp that has clean power and a high s/n level, you should be fine.
