Do I need a subwoofer with this bundle?

The bundle has no subwoofer. The 6.5-inch woofers reach down to 65Hz, so expect punchy mid-bass but not the depth a dedicated sub adds.

Can the R2-A60F run both speaker sets?

Yes. It is a four-channel amp at 100W x 4 at 4 ohms, enough for the component set up front and the coaxials in the rear. It can also bridge to 300W x 2 for a front stage plus a sub later.

What is the difference between the R2-S65 and R2-S65C?

The R2-S65 is a coaxial speaker with the tweeter built into the woofer. The R2-S65C is a component set with separate tweeters and external crossovers, which lets you aim the highs for a better sound stage.

Will these fit my car's factory speaker locations?

They are 6.5-inch (165mm) speakers with a 135mm cutout and 63mm mounting depth. Check your door or rear deck depth and cutout before ordering, and expect adapter plates in some vehicles.

Two R2-S65 coaxials with grilles, two component woofers, two tweeters and two crossovers, the R2-A60F amplifier, a 17 ft 4-gauge power cable, a 3 ft ground cable, and a 15 ft RCA cable with remote wire.

Do I need extra wiring for the amplifier?

The kit covers the main power, ground and signal runs. You still need speaker wire from the amp to each speaker and a way to route the power cable through the firewall.
