I have RF tweeters w/ crossover, thinking of slapping these into my other car. Can an aftermarket stereo power these together or would i need an amp?

Hi Lex I would suggest you get a set of component speakers instead. I'm currently using Rockford Fosgate R1652-S with Blaupunkt THA475PnP.

No you don't, however I would not recommend hooking these up to a stock/factory stereo. I am using these with a Alpine CDE-123 and they sound amazing. Very good bass, mids and highs. These speakers can handle 100 watts RMS, which is a ton of power. In order to really push these speakers to their best, you would need to amp them. But that is a whole other beast. If you're one to amp these, then it's probably because you are adding a sub as well. I hope I answered your question. Let me know if you need anything else.

The tweeters can still be hooked up. You'll need to either find connectors or cut the connectors off and connect the four wires to the two tweeter wires.

It's up to you. I don't have these anymore because I got a new car but still love infinity using the 6 1/2 with the tweeters. I use all the speakers both ways with and without the amp. They will hit hard either way you go.

Should not hook tweeters directly to a radio or amp unless they have a built-in crossover network. Radio Shack used to sell a super tweeter like this. I still have a pair that work great. Suggest purchasing crossovers which divide the frequencies to each type of speaker. Example is the high frequencies go to your tweeters and the low frequencies go to your woofers. This also prevents the low frequencies going to the tweeters and the high frequencies going to the woofers which decreases sound quality. Suggest 3 way crossovers to supply signals to a woofer, mid-range and tweeter. Always purchase two of all speakers (left and right) to be balanced. Strongly recommend the Pyramid TW188k. Outstanding sound quality. Hope this helps.

What kind of truck do you have? I don't see why not. These speakers really surprised me for the price. If I were hooking up 2 I would buy 2 separate amp wiring kits (I used the 8 guage kit) I wouldn't try to bridge the 2 speakers with 1 wiring kit. And just wire it up like any other amp kit. Hot and ground are easy.....speaker wires I would mate with your rear speakers (unless you have a after market head unit with RCA inputs......The blue remote wire, just find a ACC supported wire. Hope this helps.

If you hook these to your factory radio, they will be a huge improvement over the factory ones, but if you really want them to shine get an aftermarket amp / head unit. If you are comfortable splicing wires, you should have no problems hooking these up. Just Google the wiring diagram so that you can make sure that you connect the right wires to the correct terminals.

No these do not require a crossover, I believe they have one built in or a HPF built in. I have mine wired to the front door speakers and they sound fantastic. No amps or crossovers needed.

You don't need an amp, but you should check to see if your current speakers are 6" x9". If they aren't, then these will not fit without extensive modification to your car.

You will need a separate amp. You will also need to split your LFE signal from your AVR and send it to the second amp. You won't need a crossover if you are running it off the LFE signal, as that will act as one... I would not run it off the "B" speakers one: the ohms on the Bass Shaker are probably not the same as your speakers, and two: you need something acting as a crossover, hence using the LFE signal. Hope this helps.

Yes they come with tweeters but no crossover. I just ran the tweets in parallel with the mids and the system sounds great. If I had a crossover I would probably tone down the tweets just a hair, but the average Joe would probably not notice the difference with a crossover. Very nice sounding speakers.

not sure if this will help, but I used these on my rear speakers. Wired tweeters and rear speakers on same rear signal sending wires. IT sounds fine. Mids and highs. Your probably better off using the crossovers that comes with them.

Yes run amp in stereo mode. Come out of main board through a crossover. Hi end from crossover will go to input on one side of amp. the out of that side of amp (R or L) to speaker. then daisy chain speaker ( input into 1 speak then output from same speak to input of other speaker. Repeat the same for the low end from crossover to input of other side of amp. that amp should have plenty of power for those speakers. Good luck

Tina, in terribly sorry I am unsure if that answer because I only know car audio. I'd think you would still need a receiver. I'd suggest that's a question to ask your local audio store or music store or Google the answer. Good luck

No they have a capacitor soldered on the positive terminal of the tweeter eliminating the need for a crossover like you would use for most component speakers. I must warn you if you plan on powering these to their rms wattage for a balanced system your midrange must be double what your putting to the tweeter. Example: 200 watt tweeter should have 400 watts of midrange. These tweeters are no joke they scream. If you have an entry level system these are not for you. If you plan on under powering the tweeters what's the point to buy them. Buy a tweeter that matches your midrange and sub.

Hey Michael, they didn't come with crossovers. On the system I ran, there wasn't a need for a crossover. Also, these speakers dont come with tweeters.

yes they do come with a crossover and i would use them they are perfect match for the speakers it will sound clear and filter out the bad stuff most likely there is either an amp supplying power to just that tweeter or there is a resister in line that is acting like a crossover in you 05 acura in either case i would us the crossover that is with the pioneers, i have them on there own amp 4 channel for my highs and mids very happy .
