a few questions

how do you pick the right wattage or right speaker so that it matches with the subs well or does it even matter? and what is a tweeter and what does it do?'

thank you for the education

and the difference between a coaxial and a component speaker?

There is no "correct wattage" to match interior speakers with subs, but you might think about if you're having 1500 watts in subs that they could drown out the interior speakers.

A tweeter is a small speaker (~1-1.5") that is used to reproduce high frequencies.

A coaxial contains both a tweeter and woofer in the same "speaker" (though it is technially 2 speakers, i can't think of a better word atm). A component setup has the woofer and tweeter separate, with a crossover included (directs the frequencies to either speaker).

so im guessing the coaxial is better or easier to use? and what wattage speakers would work with subs that are running about 1800 to 2000 watts?
