It depends on your settings. I personally wouldn't run that much power to a single speaker of this class. I bought a T500-1bdCP which is rated at 500, but the birth sheet says 811. I burned one up. The installer didn't set the crossover settings on the amp and had the gain too high. After setting the amp correctly I've replaced the speaker and haven't had any trouble since.I do have the same box and subs, but with two speakers in my suv which can handle that load much better.

150. The receiver will need speaker with RMS wattage that handle 150 W RMS per channel.

Each speaker can handle 130 watts. Amplifier/receiver output is generally rated in terms of watts per channel, and an individual speaker (or system of speakers in a single enclosure with a common input) is connected to a channel. Speakers are therefore rated in terms of how much each individual enclosure can handle.

I have a 7.1 receiver with 75 watts RMS per channel that works fine and has plenty of volume. These are base reflex (unsealed) speakers which are more efficient vs acoustic suspension speakers (sealed).

Yes, I suspect it would be. I have a Yamaha RX-V471 5.1 Channel and it should work fine.

I have a 5.1 setup, I have 2 micca for my rears, and a Yamaha rx v475 pushing them, I've had them for a couple months, and they sound great, hope this helps!

Its a 1500 watt receiver. I"d be very careful using 4 ohm speakers,they will blow up at that wattage,but it will work.

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

I would say about 150 Watts RMS. You really need some nice clean power to drive these speakers. I would highly advise to Bi-amp your speakers: meaning get an external amp in addition to your Receiver's amp.

Bose keeps wattage ratings on speakers a secret. I am driving this Acoustismass center channel speaker with a 140W per channel Sony surround receiver and it performs flawlessly on the high end. Hope this helps.

Polk's recommended amp rating is between 5 and 500 watts. I have been running them on an Adcom GFA5500 for nearly 4 years (200 watts if I recall correctly). Best sounding speakers I have ever owned.

I've run this set on Onkyo 5.1 100 watt per channel receivers and they have performed very well. As with most speakers over powering is not the problem. Distortion kills speakers plain and simple. Playing at a volume level that causes distortion does the speaker in. The more clean power you have the more clean volume you have to use. Better quality receiver less distortion you should have.

I have a Yamaha with 120 watts per channel. That seems like plenty of power.I don't know if I'd use less than 80. Good speakers for the money

This speakers are rated 300W but yours amplifier I will recommend between 40-100W per channel

The receiver is ok, but I don't think it will meet your expectations. I don't think the receiver can handle 1200 watts speakers. Handle means, utilize the full potential of 1200 watts speakers. That is my opinion.

My receiver has had no problems. They produce about 140 watts. Sounds like your speakers can handle a lot more. Look for a bigger amp!
