Great sound for the price, I would definitely go with the JBL's field that you will need a sub woofer to fill all that space in the van

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.

Get a 4 channel amp that gets 500w rms for the speakers and tweeters. Get a monoblock amp that runs same rms as subs for them

If im not mistaken a aftermarket/stock radio pre-amp is 45x4 or 50x4 meaning your slightly better from amp than running from headunit. Depending on amp actual power may be less than advertised. it will work but dont expect them to be much louder than stock speakers. i have a 2500 watt 5 channel amp running 100 watts to each to these(and they could have more, but plenty loud with just 100watts) and the rest for subs. Side note when buying amp/ speakers you want the amp rms at least 80% of the speakers peak for best results.

Yes, if you only have a head unit with no built in amp, it would be a good idea to get an amp for these speakers. They will still work without an amp, but they won't be as loud or have hardly any bass. As for which type or size of an amp to get, I can't help you there.

this will me more than enough power for both sets of speakers. You'll see if you end up buying this amp that it will come with a birth cert. that will say that it tested around 520 - 525 doing the math that would be around 260x2 @4ohms 130x4@2ohms 97x4@4ohms just make sure you set the gain properly on each set to not over power them and this will give you plenty of clean watts

One of the main things you need is a receiver, power amp, or powered mixer, which has enough watts per channel to effectively run the speaker. These are 150 watt max speakers so you need that or above to get the full speaker potential. I have a peavey 200 watt per channel powered mixer. Any amp with 150 or above will work fine. Usually more watts better sound with quality speakers, especially at low levels. Hope this helps!

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful

I bought the 1200 watt one for my sub and the 1000 watt for my four 250 w speakers. Now you need to check RMS on both your speakers and the amp...they should match or you will have issues. For me, it matched.

It will depend on the how the gain on your amp is set. IMO, 500 watt RMS power for these speakers is way overkill.

You don't have to buy an amp. The only way to damage these speakers, would be to overpower them or literally break them. They are great speaker on their own, but the way to get the most out of them is to get an amp. A 250 watt amp is ideal for these speakers.

Tuff q. Cause there's many variables u have to look at like I got mine wired for 2. ohm with 0 Guage and got 2 amps a kicker 1100 and a weird brand that's 2500 but both are 2 ohm stable I wish I could have 6000 watts to match my subs but my car is a Volvo and not much room to upgrade my alinator to be able to pull 6000 watts bUT deff. Do 0 Guage so u don't ever have to upgrade u r wiring anymore that's your I did it... if u want shoot me a call or text be a lot easier to explain than a huge paragraph or a lot of info .. 5098287627

that would be best way to get the most out of them but no you do not need an amp i have mine running off the mb quart 1000.4 there getting about 75 watts each set and man they sound great.

In my opinion you do not need an amp for these speakers. I think most of these speakers are supposed to be for a radio output of 50 watts per speakers so that match the typical radio. But, I will have to let you know that I do not really like these speakers for my car. I finally realized that my original speakers in my car had no tweeters; therefore, when I replaced them with tweeter it sounded to high pitch and not enough base. I bought some speakers at "speaker city" in burbank, which have given me the best sound, and they only cost $25 each. Good luck

Here is what I did.. look at the rms.. its what the speaker can handle at all the time...so lets say the rms is 50 each.. so it can handle a amp that produce 100 watts rmps...100/2 speaker is 50... if the speaker is a 2ohm speaker look for an amp that is regulated at 2ohm... u can use a 4ohm amp but i ll give u less power... to not over heat ur amp I go for an amp that is stronger like a 200 rms amp.. and tune the amp down to 1/4 power so it does not over heat and stress it out...

Oh heck yeah, without a problem. I'm running a Pyle 3000 Watt amp & their taking it all just fine. I strongly recommend these speakers. I couldn't be happier.
