Posted July 30, 201213 yr Yet again, i have a question. I am wanting to add more mids and highs to my setup, do i need a 2 or 4 channel amp to push em? Ive never done it before, never seen a reason honestly, but now i do.Also, 5 or so years ago i did a brake job for someone and they paid me with an amp. it works, but idk if it will work for mids and highs or not. any help would be appreciated.Amp- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-Kicker-KX250-2-Amplifier-2-Channel-Amp-Crossover-/140737035274?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item20c494bc0a

Just get a set of components for up front and you will be set.
July 30, 201213 yr Author see, thats my issue... I dont want A set. I want tweeters, 6x9's and im seriously thinking of some 8's.

Id hate to roll up to my first show and get laughed home lol

Im not disagreeing with you, im just curious why you say that.Unless you know what you're doing... Those are very hard things to "match" in sound.... And if you knew what you were doing then you probably wouldn't even think of that... A nice 2-way set should be more than sufficient.. If not, then maybe you can power the tweeters off the HU and the mids off the amplifier... But no 6x9 in the mix...

But no 6x9 in the mix...Right now i have 5 1/4s in the front doors and 6x9s in the rear, there kicker components. If i amped them, would it make a difference? Lol im starting to see im more then a rookie when it comes to this stuff.
July 30, 201213 yr I do want to go active, but i want to make sure my ducks are in a row. Id hate to roll up to my first show and get laughed home lolDo you understand exactly what that means? You will either need a HU capable of working active or a 4 channel amp capable of it.

Lol im starting to see im more then a rookie when it comes to this stuff.Like stated... I'd say go with a good set and maybe forget the rears or use the HU to power the rears

If I were you I'd sell all of the kicker speakers and get a nice 6.5" component set.
