Default Lucid's Kenwood 5.25" Rears and Kenwood 6.5" 2-way Fronts with Alpine 7875?

I just ordered the Kenwood 5.25" 2-way rear speaker system with the Kenwood 6.5" 2-way speakers for the doors from Lucid. I have the Alpine CDA-7875 deck and I was wondering if anyone else has the same (or similar) setup as this? I've heard that the 7875 deck provides more than ample power (27W RMSx4), but I'm wondering if the Kenwood 6.5"s warrant their own 2-channel amp....? I think I'm safe with driving the 5.25"s with the deck's amp...but it's the 6.5"s that's worrying me...

I'll also be adding an amp/sub in the car and was wondering how you guys have your HPF and LPF levels set at?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I would try it with the internal hu amp first, if you do not like it, you can always add the amplifier later.

I just did my own install for the Kenwood 1377's last night. I am using the kenwood MP919 head unit. Sounds great. Install was not hard at all, cutting the hole was much easier than i anticipated.

Installed the rear Kenwood 5.25 speaker system from Lucid a week ago, and now received the Kenwood door 6.5 speakers and installed them on Friday. Wow, what a difference. Not thumpin and bumpin like the high end systems or competition grade, but a whole lot better than it used to be. This is all I will ever need. I am very happy with this setup. Didn't replace the stock 2002 door tweeters. I don't think they need it. Maybe one day, but not right now.
