Hector, these speakers deliver an impressive upgrade to a stock system as they are very efficient in their use of power. And if you upgade later to a high power indash and or an additional amp for them (this is how I built system in 2009 mazda 6, in steps) they will handle the power and sound fantastic.

You can install them without an amp. These just respond really well with more power. They love to be cranked up!

Yeah you will. You can get one from companies like Metra and Scosche. If you're unsure about doing it I'd recommend talking to a local car audio shop (NOT Best Buy)

You can run them from the factory head unit if that is what you are asking. Of course $250 of external amps would make them sound better.

there are 2 sets of wires for left and right, meaning when hooked up if you tap the left and right rear speakers you should get both equal outputs and they should be full range for the amp. This is what I did in my kia, I tapped into the rear door speakers off of the factory amp, located in the very rear of my car. Hope that helps.

It uses the same battery that is in your automobile. but the sub woofer will also require an amp for a sub to operate efficiently. What are you trying to do--go and talk to a car stereo shop that does installations. Tell them what you are trying to do and they can direct you for your specifics.

Instead of an amp I would change your current radio to any modern pioneer. It will provide more than enough juice to these speakers. Cheaper than an amp, easier too, and you get the features of a new radio.

Yes, but the factory radio doesn't have the enough power for make them kick like suppose to, I will recommend an 4 channel amplifier for best results.

basically just the amp.You will have to buy the correct wire to do the install properly.Its a big amp,so be sure you got room to put it.

You will need an amp unless you are getting a powered subwoofer which comes with a built in amp

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.

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.

our's goes through a factory installed amp. with the amp, it must be on for even the original antennae to work. the coax is wired that way but i don't see why the new antennae wouldn't work without an amp. either way the rvw- was a good buy for us.

You will have to purchase one. To date I have updated the amp via Bluetooth through my iPad.

It will depend on your head unit (factory/aftermarket), whether it has a built in amp, and the power output. Some vehicles have a factory external amp, they are usually located in the trunk of the car. For optimal sound you may want to invest in class a/b amp.

I am sorry, but i haven't tried my Amp yet. Yea i know, i bought it awhile ago but i will try to install it in my car this year. Ps i don't know if it will run on the specifications you wrote, i don't know so much about installing amps or subwoofers so i'll get a friend to install the sound in my car.

My speakers are plugged into the original radio/cd player of my car. I am sure your installer can answer more specific amp and aftermarket equipment questions before any purchases or any work is done. In either case, I am very satisfied with the speakers!

I installed one of these in my fiancés 2010 Mazda 3 which should be the same as yours. It had factory non bose radio. Worked great no wires to cut. Worth the money not having to cut into anything. Exactly what you need to be able to hook up an amp to factory radio. Only other thing you'll need is an amp wiring install kit. Hope this helps
