This amp is great. Its powering 2 12" subs and Focal speakers in the front. No issues,I'd buy it again in a second.

great amp, quiet no feedback. may be a bit over powering for factory speakers. you can always turn the amp down if you get any speaker distortion.

The Sony STR-DH130 two-channel receiver is a great buy and will easily drive this speaker. Preferable to the Sherwood, in my opinion. The Lepai is the way to go for something truly cheap, but you need to purchase a different wallwart (power supply) than the wimpy 2A model which comes with it, and though it is rated at 20wpc (impossible for it to do with the included wallwart - order one about 5A), the distortion gets really high really fast beyond about 10wpc. Also, it's long-term reliability may be suspect. If you can stretch your budget just a little, the Sony is the best value receiver.

As has already been said, your receiver is set up for 2 "sets" or pairs of front and rear speakers, so 2 pairs of these using existing speaker outs should be just fine, and better than stock for sure. I made a cooler speaker box with one pair to be run off my car's 320W RMS amp, and it sounds AWESOME!

KPC, definitely get an amp. If you're not going to amp these speakers don't get them. With an amp they'll put out boat loads of lows and highs. So much that I disconnected my pillar tweeters. I installed them on a 2013 F150 super crew and they're amazing. I have no regrets installing them. You can always go back and add pillar tweeters, but I don't think you'll need them. Thanks, Jeff.

technically no but all buys aftermarket speakers and not put an amp on them. it just makes it sound a lot better. i was in the same boat. bought these and 6.5's for the door they sounded a alright but after I put an amp it mKe them sound a lot better. you can go with a alpine 4 ch amp. 300 watt would be great

Look into sundown woofers. They are reasonably priced and are very popular with car audio community. If you can spend go with the H0112 w6v3 by JL audio. I just bought it in a 10" and if is a thing of quality and beauty !

I would say to first research what kind of stock amp you have, along with the correct amount of wattage your current speakers handle aka "RMS"... These speakers are super clear but need the correct amount of power amped to them to sound bright in the highs and clear on the mids

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

They will sound good with a aftermarket stereo. But an amp will give it more power and neater sound.

With a good head unit. I got a alpine. These are already loud. Personally I would crank up the volume after tuning the treble and bass. Then go from there.

Don't know but I can recommend going to Crutchfield.com and enter you vehicle information in the car audio applications app for a list of speakers. Then go find best price.

Yes if there is stock 6x9's already. Which I'm sure there is. Just open the trunk and look up you can usually see the speakers. Just realize you will need an amp also but I'm sure you already knew that.

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 for an extra $70 went with the rockford fosgate prime 1200 Watt Mono block amp. It's a perfect match for the power handling of the sub (600 Watts RMS 1200 peak) for wiring kit I went with rockford 4 AWG wiring kit. It's a little more spendy than a lot of the wiring kits you'll find on here but it is WORTH it. I have it installed in my new subaru and it hits so hard people are in disbelief when I tell them it's a single 12 inch sub. Any 4 gauge wiring kit should work for that amount of power. You could even go 2 gauge if you want. You'll want at least 100 amp fuse on your power cord (from your car battery to your amp) this was all included with the rockford kit as well as high quality RCA's. If you go with a cheap kit you run risk of choking your sound quality. If your going to get it installed in a shop they will also point you in the right direction for a wiring kit. If your doing it yourself and have the extra money I'd go with the rockford kit.

I'm no expert but I recommend Pioneer's 1300W amp. It will sound amazing with that!

It's not too much, in my opinion, i think it will be perfect. You could connect ONE of these or have TWO 750.1 amplifiers, but i think it will take too much wiring. Just remember that speakers need their proper box (i would suggest a BIG vented box) and that they also need to be properly connected. And for the amp, just remember not to set the gain all high, but at least 3/4 of the way, make sure you also have a big fared capacitor (you don't want to drain out the car battery) or a second battery, and also make sure it has the proper gauge wires (for the battery, ground, and as well for the speakers) and a fuse. Thanks

I believe they are the most efficient car speakers made. I run mine without an amp. Why don't you try this first? You can always add an amp later.
