I have a 2015 JKU Rubicon with a basic stock audio system. Do I need an amp for these tweeters? Thanks.

No amp is needed, but I have mine hooked up to an amp just to give them that little extra kick.

these are designed to be powered by either a factory or aftermarket head unit, while a dedicated amp will give you cleaner sound, at this price point I wouldn't say it's necessary.

i really don't know if that amp could power these...i have 4 of them with 2 tweeters and i power them with a 2400.4 planet audio and it sound awesome.

Yes, this will run a component system. You will want to run your dash mount tweeters off of the same source as your front speakers, but insert a filter to split the highs from the mids/lows in the doors to get the best sound from both sets of speakers.

These speakers are designed to work in tendum. So the tweeter will actually plug into the woofer to get is signal. There is an inline crossover as well which keeps the lows from reaching the tweeters. So I would say that you don't need to have a dedicated channel on your amp. See what other people suggest though.

an amp will make these speakers sound better, but really they have low power ratings (RMS) and are pretty efficient. Hence they should work fine with any aftermarket head unit. If you really need to have some extra power any good quality 4 channel amplifier (Alpine, Soundstream, Rockford Fostgate, etc) should suffice as these speakers are easy to drive. For example the Rockford Fosgate R250X4 Prime is an excellent budget choice.

The extra tweeters should be fed from a crossover from the front channel speakers as a "component" set. The wiring from the head unit wouldn't be affected by this, it'd wire up to the source or the amp as if it's a 4-speaker system.

I'm not sure but you can Google it. Just to let you know i blew the tweeters. My 4 channel amp is a skar 85x4 I hope this helps some

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.

Unfortunately, no. These really need an amp to drive them. They just won't sound right without. You need something made for wattages similar to what your head unit can deliver.

Yes...But depending on which JBL's you have, you probably need more power. This amp was very poorly made. I ended up throwing it out after the speaker connections fell apart. I have JBL L-100's and there wasn't nearly enough power. The amount of distortion when this amp was dialed up was ugly.

Tweeters, yes. Assuming you know tweeters are your highs. Everything comes with it. The only thing is if your car/truck isn't already wired for tweeters, you'll have to split from your mids to power them wherever you mount. Great tweeters.

Yes you do need an amp for it. I suggest pairing it with a pioneer digital amp. I have 2 of these In my TDI golf 2013 and they save so much space but have higher decibel readings then some of the extensive setups my friends have installed so far.

No you will need a separate amp. I bought an inexpensive Pioneer that pushes 150 watts per channel and these speakers sound true and rich.

no, they just replace the OEM speakers. But it was a good upgrade to stock sound; I also added the tweeter pod and I have a great sounding system on my trike!

After market stereo will be enough to run these. However you should look to other sparks with higher amps..these went bad after 2 months.

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.
