Is this amp powerful enough to hook up to a pair of yamaha ns-6490 (8 ohms, 70-140w)?

It will drive them but on the slight side I'm running it on a pair of 8 ohm 60w and it's great sounding. There is a slight buzz if left at max volume and dead air but other then that it's well worth the price and hides well under the computer stand.

Shouldn't be an issue. Drove a pair of speakers rated at 8ohms, 420W with no issues. Only reason I replaced mine was the lack of a sub-out port.

Yes, but this is a flat amp with no equalization. It won't sound good without an active equalizer at the input of this amp.

Yes, it is powerful enough. I have a pair of JBL studio 130 speakers hooked up to it. The speakers are 8ohms, 25-240w. They sound great.

if your not running any crazy wattage then no problem. this wire is plenty beefy. i have a yamaha 115/channel surround and i have no issues.

I wouldn't. Bridged it would do 180w x2, it's a nice amp for the money but not for your application

Nope, it is only compatible standard (non 70 volt) amps and 4-8 ohm speakers. I install home theater systems.

I am using Yamaha S500 Amplifier 80 WT/ch and it is more then adequate, Hope this helps

Depend what you are hooking up to this amp make sure your in the right ohm load if not it's best to get 2 amps like this

this will me more than enough power for both sets of speakers. You'll see if you end up buying this amp that it will come with a birth cert. that will say that it tested around 520 - 525 doing the math that would be around 260x2 @4ohms 130x4@2ohms 97x4@4ohms just make sure you set the gain properly on each set to not over power them and this will give you plenty of clean watts

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

That amp would be perfectly fine for two of these subs wired at 2 ohms if yiu wire to 1ohm you may blow them though

Nothing above 600 watts rms or nothing above a reg 1200 watt amp per sub.but watch wiring the sub notice if amp is momo or 2 ohm stable when bridged if not you mite blow amp or speaker if wired wrong parallel or in series. YouTube has great videos on wiring a 8ohm speaker

My friend who i think actually has a review posted about this amp (gordon or gdiddy) has this amp powering two 15in p3s and they slam! If you are worried about it being too weak just wire to 2 ohm (900 watts) or 1 ohm (1200 watts)

I have a set of polk monitor 40's that are rated at 120w that work well with this amp. It really depends more on how efficient the speakers are and the size of the room.

Yes even better you can hook 2 in parallel and have 1.5ohm load and do some major rockin excellent amp! jve had a lot of amps in my time been doing car audio since 89 testing and installing! For the money you can't beat it!

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

I have the 4000.1 version of this amp, and it has a lot of power, so yes it has a lot of power. It also depends how you wire your speakers up. You get the most power out of the amp if you can hook your subs up at 1 ohm stable. Figure out what ohms your subs are and the ohm they will be in if you wire them in parallel or in series. There's plenty sub wire diagrams on google.

These Yamaha speakers connect to a amplifier with standard speaker cable. 60 watts per channel should be fine.

That depends on the impedance and make up of your speakers. The amp has only one channel but also allows you to bridge your load to recieve max power..
