will this amp be able to play with 12 inch speakers?

Yes, 8" is best for "clean" sound. I have mine hooked up to some extras I have: 1972 (?) Marantz 8" 2 ways @ 100 watts RMS per speaker ( I used them prior to a 1978 NAD 7060 Receiver so I know what they are capable of as far as SPL). I concur that 8" and below is ideal!

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, : )

It really depends on the efficiency of the speakers. If they were designed for a 400w amp, probably not. I use these:Micca MB42 Bookshelf Speakers with 4-Inch Carbon Fiber Woofer and Silk Dome Tweeter, BlackAnd I am very happy with the sound quality and volume. Loud enough to be heard through out the house but you can't rattle any windows.Cya!Bob

It is not the size of the speakers as much as the efficiency of the speakers. In simple terms, speaker efficiency is measured in ohms, generally 4, 8 and 16 ohms. This amp will probably be able to drive 4 ohm 12" speakers but don"t expect to get too much volume with out distortion.

This amp should be more than enough. I have 2 polk db 12 on mine and my friend has 2 p3d2-12 on his.

I'm not sure but if you want a lot of bass go with a 12". A single 10" is good but I could use a little more bass

I'm sure you can use them if it takes 12AX7 tubes, but I can't speak to whether it will change volume on your OD channel. That could just be the amp.

It should have no problem. I have this amp connected to 1 - 10" Kicker and it does just fine.

Absolutely! BUT I would recommend using this with a 10" sub. I've got this amp hooked up to a 10" Pioneer (the shallow one) and it sounds incredible...I worry that hooking this up to a larger sub would result in slight underpowering, although it would definitely still work.

Yes, will work well with your speakers. This amp take any speakers (4 or 8 Ohm). However, it is suggested to use high-end speakers in order to take advantage of high quality sound of this amp. Check Audiogon.com, you will find many good deals of high quality speakers.

A 12ax7 has much more gain than a 12au7. If the position of the tube is V1 the amp will be louder but may distort in an undesirable manner. I would research further, consulting your amp's documentation and other users before buying.

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.

If your performance is in a space that is club size, I say yes. For larger I believe you would need more speakers. Like a twin reverb. This has one 12". Good luck and hope you do well.

Yes it will do fine .. I have it running to 12" rockfords p3's with gain 1/4 way up

I want to say yes but I'm not sure because i have 2 12" on a 2600 watt amp.

I'm not sure.it is a big speaker but it may work if the whole is big and wide enough for a 12 inch speaker.

No, from the specs I found online, it seems the speakers will fit bare wire only... But they do say 12 guage will fit, but it is the largest guage possible, so it probably will be a very tight fit.

Yes you should be able to without a problem. We have 4 6.5" component speaker hooked up and they work great. This little amp has tons of power. Way better than expected.

I dont see why not I have all 4 door speakers, + 2 12" running on my single amp. Only issue be carful about the amp over heating. Have good air flow in the space you out your amp.
