The sensitivity rating is 85db. They are a great speaker, go for it. You are correct about the way they rate them, the higher the sensitivity in db the louder they play with the same amount of input, this however does not tell you how they will sound.

Back up the bus, you are putting a marine speaker in your exploder doors? Sure this can be done but your name is Tucker, not Sucker. There are a whole pile of good 5x7 speakers that will work in your vehicle. Eclipse makes a fine 5x7, so does MB Quart. If moisture is a concern and warranty is an issue, do the MB Quart DKE157, they have a 3year warranty here in Canada (should be the same there) and they have sq that will embarass the Eclipse and Infinity. Speakers are in the ear of the beholder though, buy what sounds good to your ears. Mine prefer MB Quart.

See the ones I recommended above, they work just fine in any Ford.
