I have 2 older Kenwood speakers in great condition. Probably about 600w each. Will this amp be sufficient for them?

I use this amp to DJ, and many times use it to power 2 large speakers 600w each and 2 small ones... no problem.I actually have 2 of these amps, and lost one and bought another one to replace it. I lost it due to putting something on top of it, and blocking the air. Burnt it up.Of course, to be sure you could just go with the 3000 W version of the same model.

It should be and just try and put bass up and see if you hear vibrations I have 2 80 watt speakers and they work fine

If they're 8 ohm speakers, this may be a bit under-powered. They have a 3000 model that would be better suited for only a small amount more.

The short answer, yes. If you look at the spec sheet for this amp you will see that it IS rated to run a pair of 2 ohm speakers in stereo. With a 2 ohm load the amp is rated for 150w x 2 RMS. This exceeds the ratings on your speakers. If you just turn the gain down a bit and keep them at reasonable levels you should be fine.

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

I'm no audio expert but should not be a problem. Even if this amp really outputs a 1/3 of it's rated power. The one we received works and sounds nice paired with 4 seismic audio artic 15 speakers 400 watts rms.

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

That amp would be running around 1000-1200 watts at 2ohm if im right that speaker only takes 600watts if u turn your bass down and gain down it be fine but u have becareful not to over drive it... So i shop around for a better match for that amp they are great amps there under rated very strong and clean amps....

I matched them up to my Kenwood and they really sound great. All speakers are pretty much generic in their build and if this unit is normal powered, I'd say yes, they'll sound fine.

yes, just make sure they are 8 Ohm... Wattage is really the top end of how much power they can handle, the ohms is the impedance (think like resistance) if the impedance is too low, it is like shorting out an amplifier. Almost all speakers made today are 8 ohm. and 100 W of audio is way more power than is comfortable to listen to in any home setting.

It depends on what the ohm rating of your Kenwoods and is the 800 watt the rms value or the peak output power of your speakers. This amp will output 500 watts rms at 2 ohms and I believe 750 watts rms at 1 ohm. For example, if your Kenwoods are SVC 4 ohms the lowest impedance applied is 2 ohms wired in parallel. Another example is if your Kenwoods are DVC 2 ohms then you could wire to 1 ohm

My advice would be not to drive these speakers to maximum wattage. However, these remarkable bookshelf speakers are the best I've heardover 40 yrs of trying to find a certain quality and would think that they would be very adequate in a multi-speaker array, ie 7.1.

Yes, this amp has plenty of power, if your subs have a rms rating of 600 watt. Remember when matching a sub to amp, look for the total rms rating for the sub, not the total watt peak power. 30 to 75% of the rms rating, should be fine.

NO, the amp will be over-heated, speakers: (6 1/2"), (8") or (6x9) 4-8 ohms 25-50 watts, should be work fine. Hope this info can help what you looking for, : )

The Pioneers TS-A6975R would do it with an amp of 300 watts RMS, because if you use something higher you could blow the speakers. The Kenwood Excelon X500-1 would do the job or something within that size.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

I think so. I had all four door speakers and one 12 Kenwood sub hooked up to this amp. It burned the one sub up. Maybe because it was clipping, I don't know, but It's surprisingly powerful and reliable.

This Amp will put out 480 watts RMS power on a 4 Ohm cabinet load. It is possible that the amplifier could blow the speakers that were used but there are MANY more factors that could cause this to happen. Thanks Kam.

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.
