Although I've been trying to get this right for a couple of years, I'm not a technical expert - so don't blame me if your amp blows up. However, here is what I've learned: Power conversion is trickier than it seems. There are two element related to power conversion. The first is voltage. This product should do a good job of converting from 220 to 120, and the 3000W should be enough capacity for a 200W amp. But the other issue is "frequency", which in the US is 60 hz. In Europe and likely where you now are, it is 50 hz. None of these converters will convert the frequency from 50 to 60hz (that would require an extremely expensive piece of gear that cost much more than your amp). This frequency difference makes motors run slower than they were designed to run. Although I don't think of power amps as having "motors", it's hard to say what gizmos are in any given high end component and what effect the frequency difference might have. If I were you, I would look at the amp's instruction manual (or the back of the amp) and see if there is a switch that converts the amp to run at 220/50 or maybe it will say 120/50-60, meaning it can handle the frequency variation if the voltage is converted. But really, your best bet is to call Integra, tell them you are considering the Power Bright VC3000 and ask them how this amp will perform with it. They should be able to give you a quick answer.

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

You would need a power amp. used one for $100-$200. I recommend the powered versions SA-10MT-PW-Pair

Dear Bealefan, Yes Sir I am running a sewell digital to analog audio converter to the pylepro pca1 stereo power amp. to auvio 100w x 2 4" 3-way indoor/outdoor speakers. I use it everyday with no problems and i get very good sound and power.

Also I purchased amplifier/splitter from Home Depot, NOT the expensive Winegard amplifier. Works pretty well, but for 15 miles regular power station, you probably don't need that.

I used a stupid-cheap Boss 1100w amp. Had a billion great reviews. Sounds fantastic.

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.

any 5.1 or a 2 channel also, when using as whole home system you should use a 2 channel amp.hope this works.

I have not a clue, any respectable amplifier with 20 watts RMS from 20-20KHz should do it. I use an Yamaha RX-V573, 70 watts @ 20-20K, 110 @ 1Khz (big whoop). The point is I never need a whole lot of power, read the specs, 96 db 1 Watt/1 meter, pretty efficient, up there in Klipsch RF territory and they sound better than Klipsch RF-62's. If you have a clean old two channel receiver with 50 watts x2 channels, it should be plenty for a good sized room. My listening room is 20' x 11' and along with the F12 these guys always sound great.

A good class A amplifier about 40 watts per channel & like 0.01 pct distortion

Considering the price what it costs, I would recommend the cheapest possible amp. That would be the Lepai LP-2020A; or, if you like an amp with features, like microphone input, or radio, you best search Amazon for "Tripath amp".

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

I would go with a small 200watt 4 channel this amp is more for smaller mobile applications you can get a 4 ch ssl for around 40 dollars on Amazon .

I bought the Boss amplifier and its 1200w. Its perfect for my infiniti g37 coupe. It was about $70

look them up on partsexpress.com. but you should know that you really can not over power stereo speakers. you only damage them when you give them too little power. that because you end up giving them a distorted signal. more importanly look at the impedance. make sure that the impedance on the amp matches the speakers. most amps and speakers operate at 8 ohms.

The amp choice is really up to you and how many subs and how are you going to wire them up. I have one 12" Type R 4ohm sub wired to 2ohm. Using a Hifonics Zeus 1800 watt mono amp. Assuming that the amp is "actually" capable of pushing 1800w at 1ohm. It should be pushing 900w to the Type R. It sounds amazing in the trunk of my 96 Impala SS. Go with the 4ohm sub if youre going to use two subs, wire them down to 2ohm and find an amp capable of pushing a solid 2000w. Amps will state total power at 1ohm, 2ohm will be half that.

I used a boss 4000 watts hits hard for a cheap amp... Always have more power on amp then subs so you can hit hard it wont harm anything. Forget capacitors ... you need deep cycle batteries red optima .. one for alternator and one in trunk .. one amp per 12" .. Dobt forget to wrap ya doors and trunk with sound and heat barriers helps rattle .. Enclosed box best... for deep bass or open box for mid level
