I am hoping to use these to replace the stock front speakers in my wrangler I have an alpine cda-9886 will I need an amp or can I just wire them in?

It's up to you. I don't have these anymore because I got a new car but still love infinity using the 6 1/2 with the tweeters. I use all the speakers both ways with and without the amp. They will hit hard either way you go.

They're 8 ohm impedance speakers. Will work with any receiver or amplifier expecting to see an 8 ohm load.Many 12v amps are looking for a 4 ohm load, which I think is what you're referring to. Some are switchable. You can wire these in parallel to get 4 ohms, but I doubt that would be practical for you, since you'd need to install two pair in order to do it properly. If your amp/receiver is expecting a 4 ohm load don't get these.

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

I use them as my rear speakers and have a good pre-amp and 460 watt amp feeding them. They will rumble really well and makes it very movie theatre like experience. My front speakers are much more refined and clearer on speech. You will need separate amps because the EQ is configured between the pre and amp.

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!

It "has" an internal amp, so technically no, but if you are going to run speakers other than "stock", you probably will want an amp.

It all depends really. If you have the original radio then yes, you should run an amp to them. I currently haven them hooked directly to my Pioneer head unit with 22 watts RMS and they are quite loud at 3/4 volume. I do plan on running an amp later on to boost them up a bit.

They should be purchased separately. Normally you would be installing these in an aftermarket upgrade and use your new wiring. Most amplifier upgrade kits come with connectors, or you can get them at any hardware/electronics shop or here for just a couple bucks. The reason they don't come is that they would have to match the wire gauge you were using in the system. You would want to get both narrow and wide female spade connectors, or solder the wire to the speakers leads directly. If you are going to connect them to the stock wiring and need adapters, There is a company called Metra that makes wiring harness adapters that work well. I have done both with good results. Also, make sure you use the included capacitors on the + lead or buy "Bass Blockers" to prevent low frequency signal from damaging your speakers. These can't take low base and you will ruin them if you do not have some means of cutting off frequencies below about 100-200 Hz or higher. If you are using an aftermarket amplifier, it would normally have a High Pass filter setting that allows this, and you would then not need the capacitors. Your OEM amplifier, if there is one in your system, may also have this capability, but it is not always easy to find out it if does or not. It is NOT likely that a system that is has radio/CD player without an extra amplifier has this but a little research might be worth it.

These are speakers and not subwoofers. You only need them in your car front's doors. You can hook them up to your amp, if you have channels available on your amp. Your sub and your speakers must be connected to separate channel on your amp. Also your amp must have the power to run your sub and your speakers at the same time. Go on google to learn the basic on car audio ( amplifier, speakers, subwoofers ).

I dont see why not I have all 4 door speakers, + 2 12" running on my single amp. Only issue be carful about the amp over heating. Have good air flow in the space you out your amp.

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.

you should be fine.. just make sure don't over power them.. you can blow the speakers.. they hit hard.. sound good with my amp..alpine and alpine head unit

doubtful that you'll need an amp unless your receiver is literally a POS. I would suggest you buy a higher grade speaker wire (I have 16 gauge on mine) and that you bi-wire them as well.

Pretty certain you can run your front channel wires through the sub and then into your left and right front speakers. Look at a picture of the back or better yet..buy a nice Denon amp and upgrade the whole system. You will have no regrets

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

What kind of truck do you have? I don't see why not. These speakers really surprised me for the price. If I were hooking up 2 I would buy 2 separate amp wiring kits (I used the 8 guage kit) I wouldn't try to bridge the 2 speakers with 1 wiring kit. And just wire it up like any other amp kit. Hot and ground are easy.....speaker wires I would mate with your rear speakers (unless you have a after market head unit with RCA inputs......The blue remote wire, just find a ACC supported wire. Hope this helps.

If you are looking to run your interior speakers from a amplifier you'll need a little more power than this amp. I would go with at least a 400 watt amp and you'll need to run. This from your head unit on on your front RCA jacks back to the amp and run the speakers wires from front to back to the amplifier.
