There is a 50 W amp inside the head unit. The unit can be connected to external amps.

I have front and rear door speakers, as well as the in dash tweeters in my Subaru Outback, and they are all indeed functioning through the Alpine amplifier. Trouble is, I bought the Alpine from Amazon, but had it installed professionally and I'm not at all sure about the actual wiring setup. You may be better off calling the manufacturer. I can attest to the to the amazing sound, though. It Absolutely Rocks!!!

No idea, sorry. I ditched the unit by selling off and getting an Alpine which is great.

If they all are alpine amp's I don't think you do,but check alpine's web site should be able to get the info there

you can however without the tweeters installed you would be missing the highs. they sound great without an amp with my alpine head unit. not sure how they are with a stock head unit.

I don´t believe that you need an amplifier since has all the possibilities to be install to the head unit directly.

You dont, but definitely sounds better with a clean 50 watt or high per channel amp.I have them in 2 cars one right off the head unit and the other off an alpine 4 X 50 watt amp.

Yes, it should.. that sub is 300-1000 watt rms,, I personally wouldn't use that amp but it should work. With my experience with kenwood is that when you push them to there max they tend to cut off and get pretty warm. To be honest that sub is to much for that amp, your better off saving money and getting the alpine sws-12d2... that would be better for that amp. Unless you plan to upgrade your amp in the future with the type r,I would get the sws12d2, to save money and have the same power..

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.

Yes. You will need to buy an Amp Kit too though. An amp kit is basically a collection of necessary wiring to hook up your whole sound system: head unit, car battery, amp, and subwoofers.

I have it connected to an Alpine PDX-V9. It's really just personal preference. Depends on your setup. .2ch..4ch..or 5ch. Just get an amplifier that will push out close to 110W RMS.

Yes, and its an excellent amp, using all alpine amps and my lights even stopped blinking, which says these are high quality amps

yes, that's fine. it would still be a major major upgrade from your stock subs. but it is recommended to power any sub at about 25% more than its RMS power rating to get the most out of what you paid for it. nevertheless, you'll have fun with it vs the stock ones.

If its the new body style then yes. Finding a mounting place for the amp is the interesting part.

I would not use this amp, it is garbage and does not deliver the power it says, I would invest in a better amp such as Alpine or Rockford, this amp is falsely rated

I cannot answer that question. mine are wired directly to a four channel amp. all I can say is without an amp they will not put out as much. they will probably sound like your stock setup. get a separate amp for them. mine has the boss audio 4-channel 400 watt amp. cost me $40
