1323138
they are a total 600 watts,i have a punch 400 on them and they jam,you wont be disappointed

I am running them with 50 watts per channel from a kenwood double din deck and they do very well. Using a 4x100watt amp would give you more punch but any good amp with more than that is overkill for these speakers.

U need a amp with good current and small reciever will not power these well I recommend at least a 200 watt power amp

These are standard 500 watt 8 ohm PA speakers. You will need an external amplifier to use them. These are not powered. I have had really good luck with these speakers.

I would just hook up an amp and run new wires from amp to speakers will have more power pushing speakers which should make them sound nicer just look up the specs on your speakers and get an amp that will be just right for them

The amp should push them just fine. each hx2 can only hold 500 watts rms. so it's a combined total of 1000 watts rms.

It will push them just for not that long. I burnt this same amp out within two months pushing two 12" Kicker CVR's. If you can afford two JL Audio w7 go ahead and add a few more dollars and get a amp that could continuously push those try Hifonics or Audiobahn they're price range is moderate and the quality is better.

Let me know exactly what subwoofers you are trying to push. Also give me the RMS power and I'll be glad to help you. I have the 500 watt monoblock running a single 12" Punch P2-12 @ 2 ohms and it literally slams. My amp is rated @ 500 but according to the spec sheet, it produces 638 watts!!! RF is amazing quality stuff.

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

Whoops sorry, meant 1200 Watt amp. If each is 800 watts then you need a 1600 Watt amp. If they're 800 watts total, then you need an 800 watt amp, otherwise you risk doing some damage.

There are around 75 watts a piece. Don't hook them to a 100 watt amp they will blow. And they wont run off a pioneer CD player not enough wattts. I recommend you hook them up to a 50 watt amp. And u will be good. They are very clear.

They should work fine i that application. Get a 1000 watt amplifier and you will have ample and proper power.

any amplifier producing 50-100 watts should be plenty i use 160 watts per channel but dont use full power on these sweet little speakers

Should work, then again I only have them pushing 500W and the gain is on 1/4.

Yeah, I agree with Claudio. It would push them but it would probably overheat and go into protect mode before getting anything near the SPL that those 2 12's can make. You should get a 1000 watt amp instead and run them with the gain turned down a little so that your subs don't distort. You'll have plenty of headroom for your amp as well so that it runs cool and smoothly with no signal clipping.

I just have them in an office so I have not tried to push them with high wattage, but they will cover from 1ohm to I believe it was 8ohm.

I am pushing 100w to them. They are strong and I have not had a hint of distortion from them. They do not go as low as other mids, but they are loud.

Nathaniel,A 4500 Watt may be just a little bit too much overkill for these speakers. They run at about 8 Ohms and 2200 Watts so in my suggestion a 3000 watt amp at the absolute highest. Remember you don't want to overpower and blow out the speakers but you don't want to under power and damage them either.
