This little guy really shines as a headphone amp, but does well with speakers too. In your case, I'd be a bit worried about clipping since it's rated at about 17 watts @ 8ohm. No experience with lower impedances. If you're not set on a hybrid tube design, check out some of the dedicated solid state 2 channel stereo amps by Denon or Onkyo. My Onkyo does wonders with digital files with its built-in Wolfson DAC.

It does a great job with my small Klipsch speakers, but the Klipsch are legendary for their efficiency. Not sure how it will do with anything else.

JBL specifications are maximum amplifier power for the speaker at 150W and recommended power handling at 75W (peak of 300W). So, yes you should be fine with a 1000W or 1500W amplifier powering all six of the speakers since these speakers need to be run at 8 ohms. Note, I am assuming you are using a 2 channel home amplifier and have three speakers on each channel and when set to run at 8 ohms the amplifier will have a peak power of 200W for the 1000W unit and 300 for the 1500W unit. If you happen to mean a 1000W or 1500W receiver then just keep the maximum channel wattage to no more than 150W and you should be good. I personally run mine off of a Yamaha receiver that is rated at only 55W per channel and get great sound out of them.

According to their website, this would be a good choice of power for the speakers. 75wrms @ 2Ohm for each speaker and 300wrms @ 2 ohm for the sub. Make sure that the sub is 2Ohm, though. When you receive the amp it will come with a QC sheet explaining each power rating. Just make sure you tune it properly and it will work well. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r600x5

Listen to the other answers. They are all correct.I will only add the following,I matched this amp with these bookshelf speakers (rated at 8ohms 120W)Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)and the sound is tremendous! Love the amp!

It should be fine. They can only handle 600 watts of maximum power so just don't turn your amp above halfway and you should be fine.

Sounds like it'll be slightly under-powered. It's always better (IMO) to overpower speakers to avoid blowing them at odd frequencies and high volumes. Power is exponentially more important than quality of speakers. Cheap speakers will sound great with an awesome power source but great speakers won't live up to their potential with inadequate or overrated ( cheap) power/amplifiers. My suggestion is overpowering your speakers about 15-20% more than the speakers are rated for. Won't matter if you don't "work" your speakers hard but under powering effects rebound of the speaker cone and can tear them apart. I believe these speakers are rated for either 125w or 150w. I matched mine up perfectly and wish I would have gotten a bigger amplifier, although they sound great but begin to struggle at very high volumes. It'll be fine if you don't abuse your speakers though.

The 6501's were rated best speaker for the money by car audio. Not sure bout the jbl's or how they sound. I'm happy with the 6501. Crystal clear but the mid bass doesn't like a lot of power. Then again, your not spending 400 a pair.

I hear a lot of people say u can blow a speaker for not pushing enough watts, I've been in the game a looong time and never blown anything from not pushing enough watts and every brand tweeter ive tried never last long pushing the rated watts but i have these running 80 watts each for several months no problems at all. (hifonics brutus amp)

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).

You need at least 1200 rms to power the speakers and they are 600 rms apiece so 400 rms each speaker isn't that bad they should sound nice with your amp. I have 4 of these speakers and they sound amazing

The best amp wattage would be right around 3200 cause they peek at 1600 each speaker. I made the mistake of only getting a 1800 watt kenwood which is a good amp just not enough power. No matter what they will bump though

Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one? What is the nominal impedance of each speaker? It is important to know all of these things to make the correct suggestion.I assume that they are probably rated at 600 Watts continuous (1200W Program/2400W Peak) because it is rare to find 1200W and 2400W (continuous) 15" drivers.Also, how loud do you plan on playing them? Do you need them running at full volume or do you just want to listen to them at "normal" levels in your home and maybe somewhat louder on occasion? Heck, just tell the name and brand of speaker; that will be the most helpful. Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one?

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

I am running them with 50 watts per channel from a kenwood double din deck and they do very well. Using a 4x100watt amp would give you more punch but any good amp with more than that is overkill for these speakers.
2099193
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....

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.
