Can I connect the amplifier to 50W ceiling speaker without blowing it (since this is a 1000w per channel)? and how I can control it to do so? Thanks

and to rebut the answer just turn it down. an amplifier always produces what it putts out the volume pot holds the power from expelling to the speaker its better to have a good wattage match. pyle makes an amp call the pamp 1000 small wattage inexpensive get these amps to run your ceiling speakers this little amp amazed me. i ran pyles dual 12" just to see what it would handle and it came through with flying colors

you have get a preamp to control the amp.you forgot this amp has 8channel. the small control volume are on the back or get a receiver with a per out.....its a multi channel amp.....yes you can hook 50w speakers to this amp....but be careful...

This amplifier is no way 1000 watts per channel each channel has a separate output control you should have no problems

i wouldn't risk i see other saying not 1000 per channel some time what they claim is not true but i easily ran 1200 watt 4 ohm speakers with it and it didn't send it into protect mode. dual 15" pyle at 4 ohm. speakers have been known to burst into flames. i over watt my kustom speakers at a show when that's all i had for a replacement and my hats off to kustom and who makes there voice coils because they were so hot the voice coils would lite up and you could see the glowing in the portholes. so if you want to chance your building burning down go for it.

Its not really 1000w a channel. You can control the power with a channel specific knob. You also need a device with volume control as this is simply an amp.

The speaker dictates the power your amp puts out not the other way around. The speaker draws the power. So just wire it normal and all will be fine.

If you bridge it to get 150 watts you need to use an 8ohm speaker or it will overheat. I used up the 5.1 A&B; speakers on a Yamaha to power surround and an additional B set of speakers in a pool cabana. I have this set up as a third 2 channel amp to power a set of Bose outdoor in ground speakers which are 4ohms each. So far it has worked very well. It's in an enclosed cabinet and the internal fan does turn on when the weather is warm or I have it cranks up. You don't hear any fan noise unless you get close. So I do know it builds up heat. The auto power off and on is a very nice feature.

Its sounds great. But it's always better better with 1000watts or more. Mines is only 800watts. The dash radio plays an important role aswell as the amplifier. My amp is 3000watt and i have all 4 car speakers 250w each and 2 subs at 800w each all connected on my 5 channel amp.

At my house, I have a supplemental amplifier, and it's enough to power three sets of stereo in-ceiling speakers, and a set of stereo outdoor Bose speakers without any problems. Just check for your receiver's output specifications to make sure it will be enough. Otherwise, simply purchase another amplifier just for the speakers.

Dear customer, you're right and I am sorry that I mixed up the model in my last answer. And here's the correct answer: Yes, it's 50w/channel, and totally safe to use with no matter 4ohm or 8ohm speakers.

There is an input to bypass the amp called "speaker level input" but that would really take away the nice part of this speaker. I would try to get a line level output from the mixer if possible and use the subs power

Yes, this amp's output per channel is 140w. All you need to do is to press the stereo button on the remote, depending on your music taste, change the tone. It will do the rest. Powerful amp it is.

You will need a seperate amplifier. This boosts the signal depending on how you set the channel outputs, but it is not made to power speakers by itself.

You don't have to, but it might be recommended if want a little more out of the sub than your standard receiver will put out to it. I have a 100w per channel cheap Sherwood to the sub. If I turn up the volume more than half, I can tell the sub is hitting but lower vol and its hard to tell. Hope that helps.

This is a good amp but it's for a small system. Like for myself, with no loud music all the time, just once in a while to show off. Lol. Your speakers have a range of 400 watts if I'm not mistaken, so it should power it since it's a 500w model. But I would recommend you to get a 1k watts amp. Kenwood's a pretty good brand for this. At least mine does the work like a charm.

That will do fine, particularly if you bi-wire. However, you wont be able to drive the speakers up to (or near) full volume. I initially had a 100WPC amp driving mine, and the speaker would clip at high volumes. Only when I upped my power source could I open them up without blowing a fuse.But if you plan on moderate listening you will be fine. Any more and you might find the cops at your door anyways.

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)?But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

i first of all am no sound engineer, nor electronics guru...all i can tell is what i did and what worked perfectly for me....i took output signal from xm radio...ran it thru a preamp...then the wa50 sys....split it to bose radio nearby...and remotely to bose radio two rooms away...my impression is it has nothing to do with speakers of any age...that is an amp issue...this only sends a signal...it drives nothing.

My comment is that I agree that underpowered receivers or amps will easily damage your speakers. I learned the hard way when I was a teenager 25 years ago and the receivers I used then blew tweeters. Then I bought a Carver amp and felt the difference. At this time, I have Carver amps driving L/R/C/Sub Channels on my system. It is safer to have a 250RMS Watts per channel amp than a 40watt receiver.

Speaker outputs are push-the-end-of-the-wire only. (Regarding the LED meter, although I love the blinking lights, I rarely see them because I run the amp at very low volume level in my trading room through an old set of Bose 301 speakers. I agree with the comment that the amp is probably about 20 watts per channel RMS, which is p-l-e-n-t-y.

You can't adjust the volume/gain on this amp.You have to connect it to a receiver or preamp that controls the volume.
