do you need a crossover for this tweeter or does it have one built in or included?also would i have to have an amp on 2 of these,

It has a built in cross over, yes you have to buy an amplifier for it. This tweeter is really good.

Built in crossovers you can check http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp for what to wire them to for your amp.

I put the 6.5 in the back doors with the crossover and the tweeters in the dash. Had to remove the capacitor from the crossover and attach it to the tweeters. Great affect.

Just my 02 since I have them. Mine are hooked up to a low power amp. 45wpc if I remember right. That sound good but do not produce a lot of bass. I'm thinking without an amp they would produce even less bass. Hopefully someone has tried them without an amp. The good point on these is I'm hearing far more detail in the music than I ever heard from 2 way and 3 way all in one speakers. I would recommend them even without an amp for that reason. I have the tweeters mounted on the plastic cover behind the side mirrors. It's easier when you keep the wiring within the doors.

Rated 4 ohms -But fine for both! (Has crossover , and tweeters can be easily removed from housing to permanently install in speaker projects) Great super tweeter! Cheers ringo!

Yes, if you know what you are doing. You should not use this speaker, though. This is a level of hardware that requires quite a bit of tuning, and can't be used as a simple replacement. You will need a crossover, and a good high power tweeter to pair this speaker with. This speaker (it's one speaker, not a pair) should only get a 80Hz to 5Khz signal with a 12 dB / octave slope on the high end, and the steepest drop off you can manage on the low end. It's difficult to find tweeters that can handle the same wattage as these. I like to use series wired pairs of infinity 2 ohm tweeters amplified separately (4 ohm load per channel).

The crossover is low pass, so it would not affect the low end. This is more to do with the characteristics of the woofer.

One set is for the midrange speakers (woofers) and the other is for the tweeter. Of you have a receiver that is capable of bi-amplification, you can run the woofers on one amp and the tweeter on another. I think the top set is for the tweeter and bottom is for the woofers, but check the manual to be sure.

It's still considered a crossover. It's a high-pass filter that keeps the bass frequencies from the tweeter. They don't have the full active crossover network that the higher-end sets use. But they still sound pretty good

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.

No crossovers on them it's the mid bass woofer only. It's a nice looking speaker. By the way I bought on amazon and never used them would u want to buy my set I could cut the price a little bit. Please let me know. Thanks I can also ship out tomorrow.

no. this doesn't come with a crossover. if you do not have cross over it will blown on you. I had to buy a a whole pioneer speaker system with a crossover. it sound great

Yes it comes with both mid and tweeter. The xcrossover is integrated into the mid frame.

Get a 4 channel amp that gets 500w rms for the speakers and tweeters. Get a monoblock amp that runs same rms as subs for them

I simply sat the tweeters on my two front speakers. Ran a wire from each - and + on the tweeters right into the - and + on my front speakers. They have built in crossovers so it seems to work fine this way.

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.

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

This is only for the door speaker. The tweeter will be wired separately and does not require this connector.
