I have a amp with 50w X 4 output Max, or 22wx4 continuous. Is that enough to power these speakers?

If im not mistaken a aftermarket/stock radio pre-amp is 45x4 or 50x4 meaning your slightly better from amp than running from headunit. Depending on amp actual power may be less than advertised. it will work but dont expect them to be much louder than stock speakers. i have a 2500 watt 5 channel amp running 100 watts to each to these(and they could have more, but plenty loud with just 100watts) and the rest for subs. Side note when buying amp/ speakers you want the amp rms at least 80% of the speakers peak for best results.

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

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

No you will not need an amp I have ssl DD888 which is 85×4 and my speakers are 200 watts (100watts rms) a piece and I'm pushing for of them that = 800 watts or 400 watts rms actually I wished I'd had went bigger watts I can only go to about volume lvl 23 with bass adjustment + 4 before they start poping

These speakers handle up to 450W. You need at least 50W.I am using 140W and it is fine in a large room (17x25x8 and opens into a kitchen and hallway)

I am not a big expert on amps or speakers. I can tell you that I use four Sony Bookshelf speakers which work just fine. See http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SS-B1000-4-Inch-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B000OG88KY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423929572&sr=1-1&keywords=Sony+bookshelf+speakers

Hello. Connecting your speakers with mixed power ratings might create problems when trying to tune this amplifier. You will be better off using a 4 channel amplifier such as the R1004 to power these speakers. With this amplifier you can separate the pair of 100 watt from the pair of 30 watt speakers. You can also adjust the input sensitivity for the front and rear channels. This amplifier is very compact and will work in a portable package.

Yes, I'm using this amp to power a pair of 50 Watt 4"x6" power horn speakers in my car and the sound output is good.

Look at the specs for power. Kicker recommends a maximum of 75Watts per channel. You can have an amplifier with less power, but you will not be taking full advantage of what the speakers could output.

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 helps Fernando

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 cannot answer your question without knowing the output of your amplifier. You need to be more concerned with the output of your amp than the watts of your speaker.

Sorry - have to know how many amps or milli-amps your speaker is + how many milli-amps your power supply has too because they have to be similar. Power supply has to be at least as much as the speakers. Hope this helps a little....

360W for the pair, but their math is very generous. 60W per component x 3 components x 2 speakers. I wouldn't drive them with more than 25W, though.

Absolutely. The specs sheet info is aimed for 8 ohm speakers, therefore it should not have any problem powering 4 ohm speakers. By the way, wiat a power suply rated at 36V the max power rms it can deliver is 80W (40W per channel) if using 8 ohm speakers. If using 4 ohm speakers it should be able to deliver 160 W, but that would probably blow your speakers!

I'm no Tech, but I've spent WAY too much time researching this stuff. My understanding is that you never want to "under-power" your speakers. Remember, amps not only "put out" power, but speakers also "PULL IN" power. You should use an amp that puts out at least the same power (per channel) than your speakers are rated for. I believe these are rated at 85 watts, so your amp should be as close to 85 watts per channel as possible. In fact, many experts recommend using an amp that puts out at least 25-50% MORE power than your speakers are rated at. This way, you never have to CRANK the volume to get the cleanest, crispest sound your speakers are capable of without pushing them too hard. If I'm wrong, someone tell me why?
