    Hello all! I have a question. I believe that my tweeters get their signal from the front 6x9s if I'm not mistaken. I have a 2020 TRD OFFRD. I have a 4 channel Pioneer amp that runs my front and rear door speakers with 100 watts per channel. I want to get new tweeters and the ones I have looked at run from 50-60 watts. Since my tweeters get the signal from the front speakers, and my 6x9s are 100 watts rms, is it okay to run it with this amp? Do I need my 6x9s to run at 50 watts and the tweeters 50 watts or is it okay to run the 6x9s at 100 watts?

    I plan on upgrading my tweeters of course. What I am trying to figure out is if my door speakers are 100watts rms and my amp is 4 channel with 100 watts each channel, does it matter the wattage of tweeters? Since the signal for the tweeters is the same signal for the 6x9s, will that mean the front speakers will be 150watts tweeters and 6x9s together? Or is it okay to still use my 100watt per channel amp?

    You’re fine using the 100w amp. Speakers don’t “draw” power from an amp in so much as an amp “pushes” power to the speakers. As long as the gains are set right, and the rms of the speakers is higher, you’re golden. :spending:

    the advice from your other thread was spot on.
