[QUOTE="FJF, post: 6290718, member: 601907"] I've since upgraded the amplification to a Zapco Ref200.2 for the tweeters and a (bridged) pair of Zapco AG350s on the mids. The tweeters are very revealing, which drove the need for better amplification. As I'm sure that your car doesn't generate and transmit as much noise as mine, you probably won't need this much power. Could you post a link for the MBQ amp? You most definitely want to amplify the mids and the tweeters separately. I'm assuming that you want to use the stock crosovers. As I went over in the review in some detail, the x-overs don't offer much of an adjustment range for the tweeters. Installed as described, the speakers sound overly bright - an understatement to be sure. Bi-amping the setup would give you an easy way of controlling the tweeter level, regardless, and would allow for much easier tuning of the system as a whole. As I haven't heard any of the amps you mentioned in my system, I can't recommend one over another. [/QUOTE]
