I would love to get 4 of those speakers...which amp would you recommend? I will also like to get a pair of bullet tweeters, any suggestions? Thanks

I have mine running off of a massive d800.4 and it does the job pretty well but you could definitely feed more power to these without a problem.

I used with Pioneer GM-X742 Amplifier, but this is old model. Try find the New generation of this model, with similar power RMS. All compones must be Pioneer for optimal sound

Get a 4 channel amp that gets 500w rms for the speakers and tweeters. Get a monoblock amp that runs same rms as subs for them

Yea dude, they're a pretty good set of speakers, I've read that they sound tons better if you hook them up to an amp though. But even hooked up to just my stock hu they sound damn good. They're worth every penny man.

Should not hook tweeters directly to a radio or amp unless they have a built-in crossover network. Radio Shack used to sell a super tweeter like this. I still have a pair that work great. Suggest purchasing crossovers which divide the frequencies to each type of speaker. Example is the high frequencies go to your tweeters and the low frequencies go to your woofers. This also prevents the low frequencies going to the tweeters and the high frequencies going to the woofers which decreases sound quality. Suggest 3 way crossovers to supply signals to a woofer, mid-range and tweeter. Always purchase two of all speakers (left and right) to be balanced. Strongly recommend the Pyramid TW188k. Outstanding sound quality. Hope this helps.

Comparing the 2 setups? The Acoustimass sounds better Imo... I actually set up the Acoustimass 3 and added these 161's to the rear channel of the amp. Sounds great

it will sound good. louder than one might think. i love the little guy. i've had amps for way more $ and be equal or less than good. the el84 plus the 12x7 yadda yadda is the same as a Vox. A class too. sounds like a beatles amp, but raunchier. problems... the cheap ass plugs electric hook up thingsy is eggshellish. cut corners somehow i guess. if you can afford the speaker cab, i'd go for it. the speaker is voiced for the amp and breaks up when driven at the right time. lovely.

Search Amazon for Bugera V22 tubes and a JJ brand set will come up with all 5 tubes for like 56 bucks. I just ordered me a set and have heard good things about the JJ Tubes. Hope this helps. I'm also changing out the stock 12" speaker to an Eminence Private Jack for that British Marshall tone. They are 94 bucks on Amazon.

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

I'm not sure of the specs of that amp but I can tell you the low end absolutely sucks at 20 RMS. Loose, muddy and by my ears sound like cheap paper blowing in the wind. However, I still used them after placing a crossover in line for highs only. Clean tweeter With little ear fatuge. If I may recommend two alternatives...Infinity kappa are a well rounded speaker design and my first choice for balanced sound reproduction. If you like a little more tight bass Pyle has some great two ways. I hope that helps, but your ears are your best guide.

It's up to you. I don't have these anymore because I got a new car but still love infinity using the 6 1/2 with the tweeters. I use all the speakers both ways with and without the amp. They will hit hard either way you go.

get these, other wise you will have to drill a hole for the tweeters like I did...good luckRockford Fosgate P165 Punch 6.5-Inch 2-Way Coaxial Full-Range Speaker

My 2c here. I wouldn't run 2 sets of speakers off this amp. Even though it is rated at 8/4 ohms, I would just get a speaker selector. This is essentially a $150 amp. I wouldn't mess with it being that it is expensive. And overpriced imo.

I'm running 6 speakers and 1 10 sub. I have plenty of power to go further. My 10 sounds amazing. I'd go to a 12 if you listen to hip hop. If not a 10 is fine.

If you want "thumpin bass" then yes, get a sub. Overall balance is good but not bass heavy. They are not tweeters only, they have a 6.5" speaker cone too. They probably would come to life with an amp pushing them.

I got two and I have a mono block spl 6000 watt so your gonna need something big and hook it up parallel not series to get the most out of the amp and do the same to the speaker if you get it but I love the speakers and wouldn't get a different brand for nothing

I always use 12AWG. I just bought 100' from Ebay that I really like because it is red and black. Get yourself some nice banana plugs too and you'll be hooked up sweet. I got those on Ebay too because the price was much better than anywhere else I looked. The items were all located in the US so shipping was fast. Happy listening! FYI, If you are going to bi-amp your speakers with the TX-NR616 you'll only get a 5.1 surround.

I bought JL audio 4 channel amp. They sound amazing with it. It's rated 70RMS x 4 @4ohmn. Can't go wrong with that one.
