Will these work with a 16 watt amp? (8 watts per channel)
808287
They will work but will not be very loud. you buy an amp with higher power for better sound quality.

I used them with this tube amp (http://www.amazon.com/GemTune-Class--Tube-Amplifier-EL34-B/dp/B00DRUY6EG/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1449284595&s;r=1-2-spons&keywords;=tube+amplifier&psc;=1) that only has 10 watts per channel, granted, a bit more power than you are asking about. It filled a medium sized room well. Say 15x20 feet. But as others said, it won't rattle he windows. You could also give this inexpensive amp a try (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F0H8TOC?psc=1), the sound is surprisingly good.

The BIC website lists 10-175 watts per channel. I would say not enough power to drive the speakers.

Not really sure, the smallest receiver I've tried has been on a Marantz 2216 which is 16 watts per channel and it sounded very good. The BIC DV62si has some very efficient drivers so I think you would be fine. I'm also guessing this is a tube amp, which has tends to drive speakers much more efficiently than the typical solid state amps.

Yes, quite well! I have the Bic tower speakers DV64, which look to have the same efficiency, and they sound quite excellent with my $80 Fiio A1 and $100 Topping TP30. Although rated at 14 x 2 and 15 x 2 watts, I've read they're realistically more like 7-10 x 2 watts (8 ohms). While they may not be able to rock out to party levels, they can go loud and sound superb without clipping. I later upgraded to the the $200 Audioengine N22 desktop amp, rated at 22 x 2 watts. That's still modest, but it goes all the louder and sounds quite elegant. I would recommend all 3 of these amps for Bic's efficient speakers. Yes, quite well!

It might work but the speaker needs at least 10 watts minimum using a underrated amp will cause the amp to clip and in turn damage speakers I personally.would not usea amp less than 25-30 watts per channel.Hope this helps

They should, you just want to check how many watts you radio runs per speaker. But it show work very well!
1128340
sure. the amp is 1000 watts per channel @ 4 ohm. 500 watts per channel @ 8 ohm
1349892
Whoops sorry, meant 1200 Watt amp. If each is 800 watts then you need a 1600 Watt amp. If they're 800 watts total, then you need an 800 watt amp, otherwise you risk doing some damage.

I have a peavy amp 130watt per channel totals of 260watt for both channels, will my amps able to crank up these speakers?
1357208
Yes and no. Of it will power them... any amp would...woulol your subs like it...nope
1737739
This amp should power them just fine. It just wouldn't be to the speakers' full potential. I believe this amp is only rated at 1300 watts rms which would be a little shy of the 1600 combined that the subs would use To reach that full potential. Of course if you don't want to risk blowing out your subs, being just shy of the speakers rms rating would be ideal.
1532029
Depends what wattage they are. I have this amp powering 2 12in 700watt subs and it does great!
1156595
I guess it depends on how much clean power you are sending to them. I am feeding them about 100 watts each. These are the best "6x8" series I have personally heard! The tweeters sound like the vaunted "PRS" series tweeter and get very loud but not bright! The woofers really "thump hard" which is why I bought them! Go audition some and if you can find someone who has these I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Should be fine if they are 8 ohm speakers. I think RX-A2020 amps are overrated for power but I would not use it with 6 ohm speakers.

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful
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.

The wattage listing on these is not correct at all. They are ok for replacing factory speakers, but if you put 800 to them they would pop in a second.

Hi Im not sure, maybe yes. Its necesary to check the watts value, if they are compatible, they work!
1694526
Yes they should work just fine! Mine are hooked up to a 110w/channel 7:1 surround receiver. Placement of the speakers are critical in getting the results so keep that in mind. Check the instructions for speaker placement on your receiver. Mine were hung and angled down to the listening area. Hope this helps.

So long as they are compatible impedance and are rated for the wattage...yes.

I have those boxes too. I did the same thing you did and yes they work just wire it correctly. For an amp do NOT get an 1100w amp. These are not even close to being able to handle that. get a good 400w amp.
