I have a pair of JBL Voice of theater speakers that I bought in 1976. 18" woofers & large horn & 2 port holes. Will this amp be able to drive them.

This is just an educated guess, but as long as those speakers are 8 ohm, it would drive them. I believe with room to spare!

YES....would be an understatement here. Anyway JBL does not make Voice of the Theater Speakers....Altec Lansing does. Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

It is hard to tell, you should be more forthcoming about the speakers. Although I'd recomend to take a look at XPA-2 instead.

I have a hyfonics 3200.1 at 1ohm pushing these. It's turned down to push the speakers without blowin them of course. I'd say your probably fine with that amp. Remember if you get a bigger amp than needed it will operate much cooler than getting a amp and having to turn it up all the way to push them. I recommend getting something a little bigger and tune it accordingly.

Yes, you will need an amp that can handle 2ohm. Jl Audio sells a 4ohm model or buy two for a 4 ohm wiring in parralel. Woofer is single voice coil.

I wouldn't know because mine never turned on. Spend the extra few bucks and look at the JBL 2 channel marine amp. Works great!

As long as there's a 16 ohm speaker out, it should work great. You DON'T want to ever mismatch ohmage, I've learned the hard way; you WILL blow your amp. Maybe not the 1st time, maybe not the 2nd time, but it WILL happen. Just sayin. Congrats on your gear. Enjoy. Rock On.

Yes it would work. You may need to study rms and wattage prior to getting an amp to power them. Id your running highs these speakers will get very loud but you need to have the appropriate amp with enough channels to run each speaker or have knowledge in running a 2 ch at a specific rms

It will hook up fine but the hogtunes amp may not be enough amp to drive them. I have a 300 watt amp

I have two pairs of these speakers and they are magnificent. They are also efficient (i.e. don't require a lot of power "watts" to drive them). If you vintage amplifier has at least 40 or 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, it should work fine. This will get you to a medium loud sound level, but not near ear-bleeding sound levels.

Shouldn't be an issue. Drove a pair of speakers rated at 8ohms, 420W with no issues. Only reason I replaced mine was the lack of a sub-out port.

It will, but check the impedance of the speakers (measured in Ohms or Ω) and make sure they fall within 2 and 8. Wiring the speakers in parallel cuts their impedance in half, so if they are wired that way make sure it doesn't go below 2Ω. Two 8Ω speakers would be ideal, coming out to a total impedance of 4Ω.I would honestly get a less powerful amp or get this one and some better speakers. This thing puts out 200 watts--split that between your two speakers and it's still 100, nearly double their 60-watt power handling limit. Turn the volume up a little past halfway and you will eventually melt your speaker's voice coil.

Itll work perfectly im running a 1600 Hifonics Zeus on these wires. But if you want to seriously help with quality buy thicker speaker wire to run from amp to the subs itll help keep the amp cool.

I am using this amp to drive my Klipsh Rf-7 speakers. I walks away with them. Typically Klipsch speakers require less power because of their efficiency. This amp will probably drive any speakers well. It has more power than you will ever need. I love it!!

I know for a fact it would run the JL's but also some 6x9's I'm not sure but I don't see y not. My speakers are 12's and I tested the hell out of those.

It may be. my son has 2 - 12" speakers in a box and this amp has worked on his but it is pushing its max so we are upgrading to a 1100 amp. but for these speakers it should be fine.

This amp will rock for what you have planned. You should be able to run 2 bookshelf 6" speakers no problem.

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

It will drive them in a two channel mode, but it is not the adequate type of amp needed for this type of speaker. You are combining a commercial speaker with a home theater amp. I would go instead with a pair of tower speakers if you already have the amp.
