Polk specs states 500 w--- I'm powering with with 200w Emotiva they will play very loud & strong for music as well as movies.

First what is the RMS on each speaker, this amp is rated at 1000 RMS . Which mean that each speaker will get 500 watts, as long as your rated speaker RMS is 500 to 800 this amp is alright.

Depends on box I prefer ported over sealed. I ran a sound stream at 2 ohm 900 watts it had great Sq and a good bit of spl

Depends on 1-2 I've heard one on an alpine 500 watt and I can hear it going down my street sounds good but amps all way up

These woofers have been redesigned with great improvements overall. I used the older version with a 250 watt rms Monolithic amp with no problems @ 4 Ohms. I'm sure you will be pushing the limits at 5oo W rms @2 ohms, but the speaker will be agile and fast and you will not have problems if you don't crank it to max levels. The safer route If you will be cranking hard, will be to move to the next level which is the P2D4-12 rated at 800W @ 2 or 4 ohm, I will not be as responsive, but it can handle 800W!

Don't put too much into the power rating. If the listening room is moderatly sized, and you are a serius listener, I don't tink you will be disappointed. Mine is driving my Amphion argon 2 speakers (85db/w) perfectly fine.

well if your looking to go to the peak power 1600 true watts i have 2 on a 1200 watt amp and they sound good id probably get a 1500 watt mono block hifonics amp the one thats one ohm stable and wire the subs to one ohm and they will sound great

I am using a 250ohm DT770Pro right now using only onboard audio from my desktop and the sound is incredible. I can not vouch for its effectiveness with mobile devices or sources with lower power than my desktop.

Its not bad, ive had mine for over a year with a 500 watt mono amp hooked up and it has never failed me. Your not going to win any competitions w it, but it sounds and works really good.

I hear mine great, I'd check your receiver settings to make sure the DB level is set properly across all channels (speakers)

Craig, thanks for your response. I asked a salesperson at an electronics store and he says that the 165W is probably referring to the power consumption not the total power and that would be typical for a 290W sub. What ate your settings showing in S. cal. and ind. speaker settings, if you don't mind sharing?

They really don't need a whole lot of power to sound great. There are better speakers out there, but not for this price. I am really happy with my Kappas. I used this amp, MTX TD75.4 and had to turn the gains down as volume betwen 2 and 3 bars on my stereo was crazy loud. You will want a decent sub to complete the sound stage, I used a MTX Thunder500.1 paired to a Alpine Sbr-s8-4 8. It won't shake my mirrors off, but it sounds perfect for me!!

i was not happy with system at all not even close to 1000w ... the speakers have all high no low(bass)... as for wet I run them on a buggy attached to the roof.. so mine havnt seen much water

I can't say for sure, I have run a pair of Boston Acoustics CR6 8 ohms 6" Drive and piezo Tweeter not sure on wattage they are and a pair of GLI Pro XL-850's 8" Drive piezo tweeters 8 ohms 300 watts. Got good volume and EQ a little over 3/4 turned up. I do house partys and it ran grate for a good 5 hours with out getting hot. Now I'm power hungry and am looking towards 3000 watt we'll see, I just want to rock the house not blow out the windows. Well anuf for now good luck spin spin spin. AJ DJ KNOTMAN

I have mine powered at 50w x4 and I would say the bass is fairly decent, it's punchy, but not very boomy. I definitely recommend backing these up with a small sub. Love the speakers, you won't find a better set for less than triple this price.

The answer is, not bad. Not as authoritatively as the Anthem 200wpc amplifier it replaced in my system, but the fidelity at reasonable volume levels is good. No, it can't drive them to very loud levels, which is not surprising given the relative inefficiency of the MMGs and the relative low power of the PowerDAC..
