Amp for 2 Soundqubed Super tweets

[justice66 10+ year member]

What amp would you guys recommend for 2 SQ super tweeter? I have 4 of their Pro audio Mids running of a Eclipse 34601 and I want an amp for the tweeters instead of running them of the headunit.

Also since I have 3 sets of outputs on the head unit(sub, front ,rear)can I split the RCAs running to the 4 channel so I have a dedicated set for the tweeter amp?

Thanks for any input

if you want to stay eclipse, an ea2000 would be nice if found used.

Or if you want to do a small 4 channel, the new U S Acoustics Lisa is nicely priced.

I just run the mids bridged on 2 channels and tweets on the other 2 ..amp is a ppi bk 800.4. Its huge class a/b but it puts out lots of clean power

But unless ur running a 4k +substage like me i wouldnt advise amping the tweets they dont really need it

Thank you for your input. How many mids do you have? Im not sure how much power I will be putting on my Subs yet. I have 8 VVME 10s im trying to figure out how to fit them all in the back of my civic wagon. But I cant find a HO alt that will fit. So I will be doing lots of small batteries hopefully and around 2-3k.

Thanks again for the help everyone, but I got one last question. On the tweets their is a capacitor on one the of leads. Now I know this is effectively the cross over or a filter fort the tweet. How exactly am I supposed to securely connect this to the speaker wire that 14g BTW? Its just a little flimsy wire that's gonna be wiggling all the time. I might just be over thinking it. I also was research this before I posted and found this.

Capacitors in Series with Speakers

Now according to this picture I will run them in series so one tweet positive wire will go to the cap and the other the negative will be on the cap. If I hook it up just like the picture will it work and is it right/
