What speakers should I buy so I don't damage this amp? I bought Pyle PL53BL 5.25-Inch 200-Watt Three-Way Speakers from Amazon. Better suggestons?

I doubt that any speakers of 4 ohms or more will damage the amp. If you can find out, I would recommend speakers of 90db or more efficiency. This is a very low power amp. Try it on your Pyle speakers and see if you are satisfied.

This nice little cheap amp will not break from using different speakers. I'm using two of my in home surround sound speakers because I'm cheap and don't have the money yet to buy new car speakers. I'm sure that the Pyle speakers will work just fine and I'm proud to say that my amp is still alive and working fine off of the 12v from my cigarette lighter. You could also look for the amp with an fm radio and or sub woofer output for about 5-10$ more on amazon or eBay. Good luck. Hope this helped you out man.

They will work, but they won't produce a lot of sound without distortion. I wouldn't recommend that amplifier for use in a noisy environment with any speakers, so don't expect much if, for instance, you're thinking of installing them in a dump truck.

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

I bought a pair for stereo speakers. Used one in one set that I was repairing. Sounded good and they are very inexpensive, yet well made. Don't know about how welll they'd stand up to 500 watts. But in a combo amp, which are usually not huge amps, I'm sure it will work just fine. And youl'll save a few bucks for a case of beer to slowly break in your new speaker(s)! Best of luck and 'Rock On!'

I'm no expert but I recommend Pioneer's 1300W amp. It will sound amazing with that!

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.

Nathaniel,A 4500 Watt may be just a little bit too much overkill for these speakers. They run at about 8 Ohms and 2200 Watts so in my suggestion a 3000 watt amp at the absolute highest. Remember you don't want to overpower and blow out the speakers but you don't want to under power and damage them either.

I run a hifonics 500rms x 2 @ 2 ohms for 4 speakers and ran that for at least 5 yrs and have yet to have any issues with them. Ive overheated the amp a few times(more than likely due to poor design) but the speakers have handled it just fine and I run them hard often.Just bought a new truck and plan on installing a set in it as they have never given me issues.

This amp is not putting out 2100 watts to your speakers. Your speakers are probably 8 ohms. If they are 8 ohms they are getting 230 watts to each channel. 1050 Watts x 2 Power Amplifier 230 + 230 Watts @ 8 Ohms - 460 + 460 Watts @ 4 Ohms - 920 + 920 Watts @ 2 OhmsYou will need a much more powerful amp. Good luck!

My comment is that I agree that underpowered receivers or amps will easily damage your speakers. I learned the hard way when I was a teenager 25 years ago and the receivers I used then blew tweeters. Then I bought a Carver amp and felt the difference. At this time, I have Carver amps driving L/R/C/Sub Channels on my system. It is safer to have a 250RMS Watts per channel amp than a 40watt receiver. Of course if the Low Frequency Driver is damaged, obviously it was defective.

I like what I read about the Polk so far. I think the price is reasonable. What do you suggest is a good receiver\amp to go along with this from Amazon? Are there any other items I need to modify for my turnatable? I just want to get a total on what I need to spend for the whole set to make it sound good?

I use a Marantz MM7055 140 watt per channel Amp for these speakers and I think they rock. I can't imagine needing hundreds of watts per channel. If they sound so good with 300 watts per channel hooked up to them, I sure would like to hear it.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

I'd say a minimum 600 watt amp. You don't want a smaller amp that ur speakers will force it to go into protect mode. Any good brand like mb quart, hifonics, precision power, or even pioneer will do the work.

I tried an old set of (I believe) 8 ohm speakers on the front right, left, and center channels and notice a marked improvement in sound quality. Do you have more information on this? Will the amp be damaged? Any idea where I can get better quality 3 ohm speakers?

Cheapest amp that would work on this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0010KCP5M/there are cheaper amps available, but with less power,Or more expensive, better amps available.But the pyle with 3k watt isn't a bad deal!

Oh heck yeah, without a problem. I'm running a Pyle 3000 Watt amp & their taking it all just fine. I strongly recommend these speakers. I couldn't be happier.

I want to know the same thing. Everyone makes it seem like a pair saying: I bought "these" speakers but it doesn't say. I'm thinking of going with the 300 watt which clearly depicts it.
