Would this amp power 4 100w ceiling speakers? (Polk Audio RC80i)

It's a 2 channel output rated at 12 watts per channel. It would work on 2 speakers, but nowhere near their potential. If you tried paralleling two speakers per channel you would get an impedance mismatch. If I were you, I would look for an amp with 4 channel out put and, maybe more power per channel. Don't exceed the power rating of your speakers though, or you could blow them out and damage your amplifier.

It will...however running 4 you might consider the higher power unit. Polk Audio speakers tend to like higher power.

I'm running 6 similar sized wall speakers -- 3 on each side. It pushes them just fine, with half volume to spare. I'm certain I'm decreasing the amps lifespan, but after 2 years or so, I've had no problems at all.

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.

depends on the power required. This barely powers the speakers I have and the sub...but if your speakers are more efficient then you could run them in a series, but why not get a 4 channel amp.

Yes a 4 channel... Make sure it has a low t.h.dTotal harmonic distortion rate...and the RMS wattage is the same or better as the speakers

my guess is it depends on your speakers ... audio amplifiers can be 25W, 75W, 125W, and up ... i use a 75W amplifier (made by PYLE) and it has plenty of power.

Should work, any speaker will do. Note that it does need to be plugged in to a normal 110v plug. Topping and Amphony are worth looking at but I chose this one for the higher output. I am running a pair of Polk tower speakers just fine at reasonable volume.

Yes, but it will push 480 Watts into 4 ohm load, so you could only use 1 4 ohm speaker cab, or use 2 8ohm speaker cabs (240W into each cab). 320W RMS @ 8 Ohms480W RMS @ 4 Ohms

The speakers are 120 watts. Per. Max. If the amp is the same or lower watts per channel. Then it will work

60-120 rms speakers would be ideal. i have 2 sets of polk db6501 rated for a 100 watts rms and this amp pushes them great without problem in prolonged load listening. don't worry about under powering a speaker that is why they have controls on the amp and the only way you can under power the amp is to not supply it with a large enough power and ground wire

Hi Michael - I don't see why not, though I have only one pair of speakers per switch. The switch seems fairly heavy duty. My amplifier output is connected to an Audiosource AE6SW 6-Zone Stereo Speaker Selector and I have pairs of ceiling speakers connected from the selector to the AE100VC. Performance is perfect.

It would depend on the amount of speakers you are hooking up and the wattage I have a four channel personally but have it set to only power two speakers so If I decide to upgrade my system again I have the ability to do so

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!

I'm no audio expert but should not be a problem. Even if this amp really outputs a 1/3 of it's rated power. The one we received works and sounds nice paired with 4 seismic audio artic 15 speakers 400 watts rms.

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful

Hi,We would recommend the Shockwave4000. It will supply 900W RMS per channel to each Speaker Cabinet. This is a 4 ohm load. Thanks again

Hi Garrett, I honestly don't know, but suspect this might be an under-powered amp for some floor standing speakers. It might work reasonably well, but you should consider a more powerful amp. Most amps in the 40-50 Watts/channel RMS are really meant for bookshelf speakers.

Hi Tyrus,I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well.Thanks and I hope this helpsFernando

no. this amp will only push around 250 watts at 4ohm. It is over rated substantially. go with hifonics, best output for price.
