can they handle the power

[liljojo4711 10+ year member]

im thinking about either the infinity kappa 60.9cs or the alpine spr-17s components and i have a 2 channel amp that does 150x2 at 4ohms. can they handle this power? since its a 2 channel amp will each mid and tweet share the 150 watts? so all 4 speakers will get 75 watts basically?

NO .... each speaker will receive the 150 watts IN IT'S FREQ RANGE when using a passive crossover. Two things to remember though, first off is the amp will rarely if ever be putting out full power unless you like listening to test tones at full power all day. Second is the passive will sap off some of the power, maybe 10-15%. If you have the gains set right you will not have any problems.

can the tweeters handle 150 watts? seems like a lot for such a small speaker. maybe a dumb question lol.

yes give them the power. They won't blow as long as your careful with your gains.

anyone have experience with either set of comps? i want something that plays really high with good midbass.

What is your budget?

If you are looiing for something that sounds good & gets loud, then i would look @ Image Dynamics

Infinity is just awful. Go with Alpine.

You won't be disappointed in spending the extra coin. Just wait another paycheck or something.

but make sure you don't get the Infiniti equipment.

Harsh tweeters, lack in midbass. Nothing ever impressed me about them. Also, the guys at best buy all recommend Infinity so you know it's shit.

im gonna go with the alpines and see how they work out with 150 watts for a while. i can always upgrade later if i dont like them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.
