The speakers seem extremely cheap, are they naff?
Would I need a separate amplifier with this set up?
They don't appear naff at all to me, especially at that price !!
Re the price, is that for 1 side or both sides though, if it is 2 x bass speakers + 2 x Crossovers + 2 x Tweeters, it seems too good to be true !
Re Amp.
It depends on whether the head units quoted power of 50 Watts per channel is RMS (Average) or "Peak Power".
If it is RMS, then the speakers are a good match as they are 70 Watts RMS rated. If the head units quoted 50 Watts is Peak Power then the "Real" output is likely to be 1/2 or less than that on the real world,
(note to techies = lets not get into semantics here re Peak, RMS and point 707 etc) so an amp would be a good idea. If going that route, you want to be looking for an amp of a quoted power of around 240 Watts to roughly match those speakers quoted max power.
Note 2 = There is a lot of guff talked about Power Output !!
The only REAL way to make sure all components are singing from the same hymn sheet is to use RMS power figures, but try to get many / most manufacturers or salesmen to give you that figure is nigh on impossible.
However, if a manufacturer DOES quote RMS figures, you know you are dealing with an OK supplier, as it is not easy to cheat with RMS figures (unless they are telling down right lies in their literature, which would be against the Trade Descriptions Act of course)
