well first off...

does one set constitute one mid and one tweet

or does one set give you both mids and both tweets...

do you need an amp? which amp would be a good

choice? ill be running this off my stock HU... is this

going to be a huge problem??? will a stock electrical

be able to handle a sub amp and a comp amp???

where does the comp amp even get mounted in

the car???

is it worth it???

a set includes 2 mids, 2 tweeters, and 2 cross-overs

you dont need an amp but it would be better than just an HU, especially a stock one

it depends on your alternator and the amps you are going to use

wherever you want to put it with adequate air flow

yes

thats cool if you only need the one set... its not even

that expensive... im going to try and maybe get it

for christmas from the girlfriend or something...

what amp would be good... 2 channel or 4 channel???

 

[Acidburn 5,000+ posts]

for just one set of comps, a 2-channel

would that be both mids on one channel and both

tweets on the other???

Well, since Acidburn pretty much covered most of it, all I can say is:

is it worth it???

Abso-fvcking-lutely

You would wire one channel to each crossover, then one mid and one tweet would get connected to each crossover.

i get it now... im sure i will be getting this

installed by someone who knows what

they are doing...

will the RE 6.5's fit where my current 6.5's

are in the doors??? generally...

i dont know where i would put the tweets...

so now... whats a good amp... do they

need a ton of power???

 

[Acidburn 5,000+ posts]

yes, the 6.5" mid should fit in the stock 6.5" location

the tweets can go in many different locations, whatever sounds best to you

i believe RMS is 50-60w but didnt snova run 150w to them for his review?

wow... this isnt going to be that bad at all... RE comps here i come!!!

sooner or later... does RE have comps on demand or is it

the same deal like with the subs...???

ok well i have the re comps and its def worth the money, as far as running it off your stock deck you should be fine but these suckers really start to shine with some real power goin to them. the way that the cross over works is that theres input + and- then there tweet + and - and then theres mid + and - so you just run you power to the input and run the other wires to your speeks. amps wise i have a us amps 4260 which puts out 65 on each channel at 12 volts so there probably getting about 70 rms actually, but these things sound great
