If you have an amp that is bridgeable, this would be the second amp. My primary amp is a Rotel with is bridgeable, this become the second amp. This amp is a straight 7 channel amp. I power speakers like, Martin Logans, Magnepans, Final Sound, Karma and Wilson Pups. Power is needed for Planars, so I'm running 2 power amps, and a lot of Y- adapters and my center are all cones with doesn't require a lot of power they are JBL horns and (4) 10" full range drivers (Wilsons).

Yes u can . I have the polk monitor 75 t powered by the UPA 700 . And they sound GREAT . I Just ordered 2 XPA 100 mono blocks to Bi amp the 75s and i will use the UPA 700 to drive a center and 2 tsi 400 in the rear .

Yes...This amp will more than power your monitor 70's. Monitors are pretty easy to push and this amp should do fine especially if you bi-amp. I'm currently using this amp (bi-amped) on some polk RTi12 with no problems.

I wouldn't set it up like that...I would definitely get 1 amp to run the speakers, and 1 to run the sub. I purchased a 1000w amp for the subs, and this amp for the 4 speakers. Works great.JL W6 12V24x Infinity Kappa Perfect 6 1/2

This should work wel for your system. The total power of my amp stated on the test sheet was 715amps. It has plenty of power. Turn off the low pass switches to the speakers and get your base from the Sub woofer! I think you will be happy!

That's what I use to power this amp. It will work. Moreover, it's always good to overpower ur sub than underpower them. Use the gain adjustment in the amp to get the right setting.

I would invest in an AMP for sure, short money but will get more out of the unit. I purchased the Polk 4 channel and it is worth the short money it cost

You can bi-amp speakers you cannot,I don't believe, bi-amp outputs for double power,if that is what you mean!!Suggest check with Emotiva to be sure.

Speakers are 300W continuous, 750W program and the Recommended Power Amplifier: For maximum SPL: 600W to 900W @ 8 Ohms. The amp puts out 1050W Bridge-Mono at 8 Ohms. So I think 1 amp for 1 speaker works fine but you would be under powered for two speakers with this amp. However I'm not sure how the recommended wattage changes with a pair of speakers and dropping to a 4 Ohms load. If max power doubles to 1200-1800 watts while dropping to 4 Ohms this amp will be in the middle with 1550-W @ 4 Ohms.

I would not, as that amp only has 30 watts/channel. The Polks are power hungry. I have my LSi 9's hooked up to a Adcom 545II amp @100 watts/channel and they sound great. However, not all 100 W/channel amps are the same, as I had my LSi9's hooked up to a 100 W/channel Sony receiver and they sounded dull. In any event, I would think a minimum of 100 watt/channel is necessary to get the best sound out of them.

Technically, yes, the topping amp can power those speakers. But, the sound quality is not going to be there due to sheer lack of power. You can increase the volume, and it will get louder, but the distortion level of the amp will be high. I am using it too power 2 Dayton 652's for my computer setup, and it works just fine. ymmv

you could but it wont make sense wont get much power, this amp is basically for mids

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!

This will work fine for powering those speakers. Be sure you ground it VERY well or it will whine. The one I bought was the hardest amp I have ever had to get noise out of.

We have two of them and no you do not need an external power amp to run the speakers or monitors, this unit will work fine.

This amp should be more than enough. I have 2 polk db 12 on mine and my friend has 2 p3d2-12 on his.

I'm powering 4 mb quart mids 125 rms and a kicker 12 with no problem. It would really depend on the impedence of your speakers and subs.
1171537
correct. The monitor sends on each channel give you flexibility but there is no onboard amplifier for monitors. It may be possible to use the stereo amp and split L & R with one side dedicated to Mains and the other to monitors. You would need to explore that possibility.

I don't think I would run two of that sub because it is a 4 ohm sub. That would restrict your watts from the amp to about 300 watts output. If they were 2 ohm subs it would probably be fine. I am running one kicker 12" sub ported and it is a 2 ohm sub so I am getting 500 watt output.
