Can someone who has one of these kits tell us the wattage ratings (RMS and peak) for the satellite speakers and front speaker?

I am not sure the exact wattage rating but my reciever puts 80w per channel and I wouldn't go much higher than that. The speakers are clear, but also keep in mind the subwoofer is not powered. I was unaware of this, when the description says "200w" I thought it had a 200w sub amp. I had to purchase a separate subwoofer. Average speakers for a low price.

Don't put it past 1000 watts rms. Also put it in a ported box. I had mine in a sealed box at 1000 watts rms. It got too hot and melted my speaker wire.

I went with a 4 x10 dual voice coil 160 watt. It is a 100 times better than the original 1963 speaker, but not as good as having 2 separate speakers. I'm happy with it.

Anything that can deliver at least half of the recommended power which is 110 watts rms per speaker. I currently give them 50 watts rms and they sound great and are loud enough for me. Make sure the amplifier is CEA 2006 compliant. All of the information can be found on Crutchfield or sonic electronix. I recommend Alpine Mrv-F300 or something similar as it will be slightly cheaper than the PDX-V9 if your on a budget. If you can splurge a little more go for it and get a PDX-V9. Both amplifiers are a great buy in my opinion

I was going to say it seemed like 100 watts rms was the stated max for wattage--and durned if I wasn't right....Just know its just a numbers game with higher #'s being more impressive. I look at the sensitivty rating of the speaker 1st especially for car systems--they seem to play even more 'bigger is better games' than the home system players. Anyway, it's all in your ears when it comes down to it...that and budget restraints.

The only data that i could find is on another website. It claims to be only 250 watt rms. I have them ran in a circuit bridged at 4oms with this amp Pyle PLA2378 2-Channel 2,000-Watt Bridgeable Mosfet Amplifier and they sound great for the cost. Not sure if they are only 250 watts rms that sounds low for the way they sound. Thats all i could find.

With the brx 1600 u gonna put out bout 700 watts at 2ohm. Whats ur speaker rated for Mrs and peak power

Well I can see now in one of the customer images, it shows that the system is 70 watts RMS. It's too bad the picture is so small. I wonder if 70 watts RMS is the combined total RMS, or just the speakers, etc. Thanks ahead to anyone who can elaborate.

Each speaker can handle up to 180 watts of power for short bursts (Peak). The speakers are rated at 60 watts RMS (each). Basically, a 60 watt per channel amplifier would be the best match for these speakers. Here is more info on peak/RMS power: RMS power vs. peak power Don't be confused by "peak power" and "RMS power" ratings. Simply put, RMS wattage ratings are a measure of continuous power - while different manufacturers will use somewhat different methods to come up with these figures, it's usually a more "real-life" rating of your equipment's capabilities. Peak power, on the other hand, doesn't try to reflect realistic operation. It's simply a measure of how much power can be generated or handled for very short bursts.

Rms is the actual power to the speakers. Your speakers will have an tms rating as well so you will want to make sure you are not exceeding speakers ability or they can be damaged. This is a noceLittle amp for the money

I have the Factory Spec sheet which lists this factory replacement upgrade speaker as 120 Watts Peak, 60 Watts RMS power, Frequency response 50 Hz- 20 kHz, 4 ohms, 3" depth, Polypropylene Cone. From George

I don't know the rms/peak wattage. But I have had this speaker going on a year. And it's really durable and very loud. You won't go wrong with this speaker/sub combo while on a budget.

CA-3550 satellite wattage is 6 watts/per, subwoofer wattage is 20 watts. Altogether wattage is 6+6+20=32 watts. Hope this answer is helpful!

1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2. The satellite speakers on the 600 have a mid/range radiator on top. Evidently their bookshelf answer to their bi-polar drivers of the BP series.3. Subwoofer on the 600 has a 250 watt amp where as the 60.6 only has a 150 watt.That being said, I own the 60.6 and I am extremely happy. I use them with a Denon AVR-2310. If you have a larger than 400 sq ft theater space I would consider a second or more powerful sub. But at the current $219 (which is hilarious as the sub itself sells for $299) I see the set going for, its kind of hard to go wrong. 1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2.

there is no set standard for rating watts, I have sold audio gear for many years, if you go to onkyo's web page and look at specs, you will see different numbers for different ohms and frequency, all manufactures do this. Very expensive amps will double there power into four ohms, but these are in the thousands of dollar range. The size of the power supply is what really makes a difference. If your speaker package is under the $2000 price range this should be fine, I bought this for my sons system.

Vrms = 0.3535 * Vpp ; use 35w as Vrms. That means peak. You'll blow these speakers if you try running them at 100w continuous.
