What is the crossover scenario with these speakers? Bring your own on the component speakers, built in for the coaxial pair?

There is a crossover included for the component speakers and built in for the others.

They are included in the package great speakers must put them a amp for best sound

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

First you have to find a suitable place to mount the crossover. I mounted them inside the door panels using 2 sided tape. Whether your using an amp or the head unit the speaker wires coming from the source(amp or head unit) get connected to the input + & - on the crossover. Then you run the wires from the + & - woofer terminals on the crossover to the + & - terminals on the driver(woofer). Finally you run the wires from/the + & - tweeter terminals on the croosover to the + & - wires on your tweeters. It's pretty straightforward once you find a good mounting location for the crossovers. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined & patient you should be alright.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

They require a AV -Receiver or a separate power Amp. I used these for rear surrounds for years and they were the bang for the buck for sure. Good sound too!

Yes and no. If you do, I would get an external crossover. I have this sub with the JBL eons too. The problem with the JBLs is they have no option on them for a high pass filter when connecting a sub, this causes frequencies to cross and creates problems with your sound. I suppose jbl does this because they want you to buy their subs.

I have measured their impedence as around 4 1/2 ohms over much of their frequency range; this is likely to rise around the crossover point when you add a capacitor (eg 3.3 microfarad) to keep low frequencies out. Whether they sound any good will depend on whether they are similar to what you are replacing, they are very efficient and might end up sounding very bright, with unpredictable integration with whatever woofers you are using. Good luck! Richard

They are designed to daisy chain together. I only own one so I don't hae personal experience with multiple of these devices, but I have used it with other speakers or as a pass through with the home stereo and had no problems at all.

They are coax. They have several nice component offerings, but they are more expensive and the installation is more complicated. The speakers really woke up my stock GM-Bose sound system though... a great improvement over the stock Bose paper cone/foam surround speakers.

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.

Polk describes the speakers as being a 4-way tower speaker with three 5-1/4 inch drivers. Arranged in a MTMW configuration suggests the crossover is a 3-way, perhaps they claim a 4-way because it can be connected with a bi-amp capable receiver. I upgraded the xover with a VR3 Mod that replaced the stock components with higher quality ones. The upgrade was well worth it.

These speakers require a separate amplifier. I use them as surrounds in my system and they have served me well.

I suppose you could use the passive crossover The idea is that these have sufficient power to drive them and most amps don't have a dedicated sub-woofer output so you are robbing power from elsewhere to drive them you can connect them in parallel or direct to adjust the impedance as you can do with a normal sub I drive mine with a high pass filtered 4 channel amp I have one under each seat in the car I also made a piece of plywood quarter inch thick to mount them to the board is silicone'd and screwed to the bases of the seats to stop rattles works really well

They have separate crossover resisters you can wire in that come with it. Overall decent sound with stock crossovers I used in my blazer.

The r type speakers from Alpine are the better of the two. I am running 4 7in Rs both component and coaxel and 2 type s in the rear as space does not permit. I am very happy with this set up

I wouldn't bet on it, although I haven't tried it. They do okay with speaker wire, but it seems that coax might be too thick n heavy.

The tweeter part of the speakers have built in crossovers, but not the main speaker. You can still damage them if you allow to much bass through them.
