How many watts do i need??

[ti_27 10+ year member]

I just purchased two sets of the Alpine SPR-57LS TYPE R 5x7"/6x8" COMPONENTS..

They are rated 300watt peak and 60 RMS...I've been looking at this RF 501x its 65x4 @4ohms ....I know that would be enough for the 4 5x7's but what about the 4 tweeters? I've never installed a component set before and wasnt for sure about the distribution of wattage and how all that works...So is a 65x4 plenty of power for the two component sets?? Thanks for any help/explaination...

It's plenty. Their is a crossover for each speaker/tweeter combo, so four total. The crossover has an input for the amp's wire from the amp, from there it simply splits the signal between the two speakers(tweet and mid), and they both recieve same power.

that amp is fine.
