If someone could please tell me the RMS ratings for the stock door speakers in the 99 ES300, I would be very grateful. I am going to be picking up the Elemental Designs NiNe.4 amp, and I want to see if can use it with the stock speakers until I can pick up my aftermarket speakers.
Power rating on the nine.4 is 100 x4 @ Ohms and 65 x4 @ 4 Ohms.

you can use it, but turn down the gain to reduce the chance of blowing the speakers.
Note that power is not constant and the "rms" of a speaker is no real indication of how much power it'll handle. You can hook up a speaker with an rms rating of 20 into an amp that's rated 100w, and you'll still be fine.
Be wise with the gain/volume **** and you should be fine.
