What size/power capacity speaker can this amp handle? 50 watts doesn't seem powerful, but I've been told ohms capacity is what counts.

Youll be fine in a 20x15 on these...my 10x10 fills up and the amp never reaches half volume on the knob.

Ideally, bookshelf speakers on the order of 25W will provide highest quality response. Teac has a well matched line of bookshelfs. I use those and a subwoofer fr Yamaha. The system is in my office and sounds better than a $10k. sound system in my living room.

50watt rated speakers will work just fine with this amp. Max power into 8 ohms is 30wpc. You can get more power output by using 4 ohm speakers, but unless you're trying to fill a large room or you just like LOUD music 50watt speaker will work.

this amp blows! better than a 200 watt amp, i'm using energy speakers and sub sounds great.

That's a fairly variable question. The speakers depend a lot on the answer. Even within the same OHMS rating the amount needed to rightly power a set varies a lot. All I can say is these are plenty powerful for a 10x10 room using some vintage Scott s-15 speakers from 1969 with 10 inch subs + a dedicated 10 inch sub on the floor. Probably wont answer your question but you would need to include a lot more variables to get a good answer.

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!

As the other person mentioned, the amp can drive any speaker. It does indeed depend on how efficiency your speakers are, the room size and volume. First, look at the specs for your speaker. It will have an efficiency spec, which may say something like 78dB/1W/1m. That means it will put out 78 decibels of sound at 1 watt at a distance of 1 meter. A high efficiency speaker would be 91 dB, and a low efficiency speaker would be around 84dB. With a medium efficiency speaker, I'd say this amp will easily fill a small or medium sized (2500 cubic foot) room with satisfying volume (not party level music, but normal listening volume).

The real question is do you normally run them with 200 watts of power?? The control is spec,ed at 100 watts. But for home use even to the most hearing impaired user Most folks will not use more than 20 / 30 working watts of power though the speakers are rated for 200 watts that just means that that is the peak excursion they should be able to tolerate without a failure. What is your amp rated at How many watts?? Knowing this how hard do you run it at?? a 200 watt amp run at half volume should deliver approximately 100 watts output power. I have 250 watt speakers and a 60 watt amp and can barely tolerate them run to 50 % past that I risk hearing damage and a visit by the local constabulary My speakers are really efficient. I am a believer that its not the power but the efficiency that rules. I do professional Sound reinforcement and rarely need to use more than 200 watts to the mids and that's to rock a crowd into the couple hundred. If you are truly using more than this consider building a more efficient system. My use of the volume control is to trim outdoor speakers rated at 50 w from an amp that outputs 25 watts

This speaker can handle up to 100 watts RMS. Glad to answer your question, good luck.

Hi Tyrus,I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well.Thanks and I hope this helpsFernando

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

50 watts RMS x 2 @4ohm 75 watts RMS x2 @2ohm 150 watts rms x1 @4ohm It will handle 2ohm but i dnt really recommended it dropping it down to 2ohm when it comes to mono channel
1320802
Absolutely. The specs sheet info is aimed for 8 ohm speakers, therefore it should not have any problem powering 4 ohm speakers. By the way, wiat a power suply rated at 36V the max power rms it can deliver is 80W (40W per channel) if using 8 ohm speakers. If using 4 ohm speakers it should be able to deliver 160 W, but that would probably blow your speakers!

you have get a preamp to control the amp.you forgot this amp has 8channel. the small control volume are on the back or get a receiver with a per out.....its a multi channel amp.....yes you can hook 50w speakers to this amp....but be careful...
1464129
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.

These woofers have been redesigned with great improvements overall. I used the older version with a 250 watt rms Monolithic amp with no problems @ 4 Ohms. I'm sure you will be pushing the limits at 5oo W rms @2 ohms, but the speaker will be agile and fast and you will not have problems if you don't crank it to max levels. The safer route If you will be cranking hard, will be to move to the next level which is the P2D4-12 rated at 800W @ 2 or 4 ohm, I will not be as responsive, but it can handle 800W!

It should really say 2000 watts rms. I use it to push 2 18" cabs rated at 1000W each peak and 500 RMS. That's about the most you can push at 8 ohms. You have to match ohms and watts to get adequate power. I made the mistake of purchasing the 4000 watt amp and it could not push the 2 x 18's

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 have it plugged in a 8W per channel amp, and even at 3 to 4 watt, these speakers are pretty loud (slightly louder than conversation).When I plug them in my multichannel 100W RMS per channel amp, they make the walls shake!

Yes. The max power doesn't really matter though look at the RMS ratings. Depending on the impedance of your speakers you get different amounts of power. I wired my sub down to 1 ohm so it is getting 1000 watts and my door speakers are 2 ohm (infinity speakers are usually 2 ohm) so they get up to 120 watts. That brings the total power to 1480 watts. Not even close to the 5000 watts max. You won't ever see that amount of power but it is a great amp nonetheless.

According to the manual (which you'll need to print out from a PDF) it will support 4 ohm speakers. You set the speaker impedance as part of the set-up procedures. I don't know the power level, but I imagine there would be sufficient. Hope this helps.

Hello. This system runs at 100 watts into 4 ohm (2 x 8 ohm) speakers. Thank you for your interest!

The specs for this amp indicate 40 watts of power for each channel....so I believe it would be within your speakers' parameter.
