What amp should I run with these speakers
1262455
A decent 50w+ x 2 amp should run them fine. As long as it is a good quality amp.

I use a 1200 watt 4 channel to run these along with 2 other speakers and a sub woofer and it sounds great.

I'm running a Pioneer GM-D 8604 4 channel. These speakers take some time to break in and open up. Probably about 150 hours, then you'll notice the bass, mid, and treble really open up. You don't want to use a bright amp with these, also use a good head unit that allows you to control all the frequencies. I'm using a pioneer head unit. All equipment is pioneer and the wiring is Audio Quest Topaz. The system sounds great, very deep bass and extremely clear and not fatiguing. I have this set up on my Harley Ultra Classic. Fairing is lined with acoustic foam and speakers are surrounded by polyfill fiber. I have the Pioneer TSD170 6.75" coaxil as the rears and ported into the trunk.

Not a good idea you should aim for a two channel amp our two one channel amps and try to match the ohms of the speakers with the amp to get the best out of them

Depends on what ohm and watt your speakers are. But normally I run a 14 or 12 gauge.should be more than enough for your home theatre. Unless ur putting out more power

You don't have to buy an amp. The only way to damage these speakers, would be to overpower them or literally break them. They are great speaker on their own, but the way to get the most out of them is to get an amp. A 250 watt amp is ideal for these speakers.

It depends based on your speakers. If they're very hard to be drove, you need to consider other AMP for them.

It depends on the ohms. These speakers are 8 ohms. If the amp is rated for 4 ohms, you will fry your speakers. If the amp is rated at 8 ohms, you should be fine. I have a pair of these speakers hooked up to an an amp thst puts out 125 watts @ 8 ohms per channel and they sound fantastic.

It depends on what your music source is. Most radios or players should have enough power to run these speakers. If you're using a car radio that will be adequate.

Not a good idea, running them in series wouold give you the same current through each speaker, which would still burn the smaller ones. If the speakers will handle at least 80 watts each speaker you can use this amp to power them at lower volume, but if they are 2 - 10 watt speakers don't try it. They should be labeled as to what power rating is for each.

Too much amp....these speakers are only rated for 200W peak. You'll likely blow them right out of the cabinents. You'd be better off with the SL-15s with that much power.

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.

Are you running two or four speakers? If you are running 2 speakers then a 2 channel amp will work and a 4 channel with 4 speakers. You can also bridge with a 4 channel amp with these speakers as well. Get you a 4 channel amp with at least 50 watts RMS to run these bad boys. These speakers rock!

These speakers are 4ohm rated. You will need an amp that can handle 4ohm speakers. I use a AudioSource Amp 100 Amplifier. It goes for about $120

They are 4 ohm speakers. They need some power to drive them. They can be ran without an amp if the head unit has enough power. I would say a min of 30 watts per side but they will sound the best with 75 to 200 watts.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

The BOSS PH2.1000 is way to much power for those speakers. I suggest looking into a lower wattage BOSS amp so you don't blow them.

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

Yes, that is OK. Just make sure to not over power them. Remember, the total power in will be divided in HALF, going to each speaker, so even if the 15" speaker can handle more, the total max power output of your amp shouldn't exceed twice the rating of the 12" speaker.
