what amp would you recomend for these as well as 2 tweeters?

It's really up to user preference and how much you want to spend. So long as you do not exceed the watt rating you will be fine. Stick you a quality name brand amp manufacturer and stay away from any Class-D amp. Class A or A/B would be preferable. These are rated at 4 ohm and so are the "sister" tweeters that Pioneer also makes so you'll need an amp that is either 4 ohms per channel (1 speaker per channel) or 2 ohm per channel (2 speakers per channel) if you plan on bridging this speaker and a tweeter. Running 2 of these and 2 tweeters you can get either a 4-Channel (2 Tweeters + 2 mid-subs = 1 per channel) or a 2-Channel amp and bridge 1 tweeter + 1 mid @2 ohms for left and the same for right. You can do the same bridging technique with a 4-Channel amp but you'll pay more for a 4-Channel amp and get less watts.

And ya like Ray said.... If you're getting two pairs, you should get a 4 ch amp. If only one pair, a 2 ch will be fine.

You can go for the Polk Audio TRiA Series because you could take advantage of its Bi-Amp feature. I personally use a pair of Floorstanding speakers, but the RTiAs are rock-solid!!

It's just 4 Chanel's you'd have to get a 2nd amp to power a sub or give up 2 speakers. I wouldn't recommend a 2nd amp since the 200 watts is just perfect for the 4 midrange speakers. these sound great by the way.

the problem with these are they need at least 300 to 500 watts. other wise there going to distort and blow tweeters and mid like crazy. if you got the power you can break them easy. hope this has helped you.

Should not hook tweeters directly to a radio or amp unless they have a built-in crossover network. Radio Shack used to sell a super tweeter like this. I still have a pair that work great. Suggest purchasing crossovers which divide the frequencies to each type of speaker. Example is the high frequencies go to your tweeters and the low frequencies go to your woofers. This also prevents the low frequencies going to the tweeters and the high frequencies going to the woofers which decreases sound quality. Suggest 3 way crossovers to supply signals to a woofer, mid-range and tweeter. Always purchase two of all speakers (left and right) to be balanced. Strongly recommend the Pyramid TW188k. Outstanding sound quality. Hope this helps.

Yes, if you know what you are doing. You should not use this speaker, though. This is a level of hardware that requires quite a bit of tuning, and can't be used as a simple replacement. You will need a crossover, and a good high power tweeter to pair this speaker with. This speaker (it's one speaker, not a pair) should only get a 80Hz to 5Khz signal with a 12 dB / octave slope on the high end, and the steepest drop off you can manage on the low end. It's difficult to find tweeters that can handle the same wattage as these. I like to use series wired pairs of infinity 2 ohm tweeters amplified separately (4 ohm load per channel).

The advice from Henry is what I'd say and do. 4 Channel amp adjusted to your liking should sound good.

FT-6T has an advantage with the horn type tweeter. I use these speakers as part of a 11.1 system in the Front-Wide position. I'd use these speakers in conjunction with a good subwoofer such as the BIC F12.

The woofer can do one or two 8ohm cabs, or one 4ohm cab. The tweeter can do one 4ohm cab only.

This amp will rock for what you have planned. You should be able to run 2 bookshelf 6" speakers no problem.

Bryce, I run a planet audio 2600 watt amp on my two 10" subs and its plenty of power. I know multiple people who have had great luck with planet audio so far and they're inexpensive.

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

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

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.

I wouldn't suggest it this is a 4 channel amp you would be better off with a mono if you want more power get 2 amps and bridge them together also depends on if you are wiring the speakers to the amp also.

Yes I'm running 2 69 and set of mid and tweets up front and 2 10 inch subs at 2 ohms no problem. Sounds great speakers are 80 watts and 150 watt subs
