This Amp will put out 480 watts RMS power on a 4 Ohm cabinet load. It is possible that the amplifier could blow the speakers that were used but there are MANY more factors that could cause this to happen. Thanks Kam.

320W @ 8 Ohms and 480W @ 4 Ohms. I would suggest a 410 or 115 cabinet rated at 4 ohms from GK would be a great setup for your amp. Or you can run 2 - 8ohm cabinets (depending on there individual wattage needs) together at 4 ohms. We can help call us toll free at 1-877-671-2200

Look at the pictures and check the placement of your speakers. I actually returned mine because it was incorrect. You can also message the seller.

The product info from JBL is correct. Make sure to check the clearance depth of the cabinet, or in my case the exterior wall of the RV.

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. Of course if the Low Frequency Driver is damaged, obviously it was defective.

Hi,We would recommend the Shockwave4000. It will supply 900W RMS per channel to each Speaker Cabinet. This is a 4 ohm load. Thanks again

This amp will run it easy...yes....I'm pushing eight speakers total....two tens bridged...two six by nines....two.6.5s....and tweeters...the rms is operating watts...that 1300 is peak and not to be ran at that wattage. Bridging makes less resistance. My advice...Google and get a good understanding of how to bridge....and do it all before you blow your new amp. For the money..Hell yes the rockford.

Anytime you have speakers, the amp should either match the watts or more to carry the load. Never use a amp less then the watts of the two or more. If they are a 1000 watts a peace, you need 2000 watts or more so you can get all they are made for. You welcome! They are good speakers. I have them hook up to a Boss 3000 watts amp.

I would add another if your pulling 1400rms . That sub is only rated 1300 rms . Even though it's only 100 rms over what the subs is rated at , long term overpowering can damage subs . Hope this helped some :)

I sold mine before any issues happened. pretty solid amp, pushed the sub i had, got hot quick.. i also had the 4 channel just like this one and it went bad on me. sold the 4 channel for parts and got rid of this one because i wanted matching amps. polk makes some good stuff but these series of amps are always online being sold for parts/ broken and need repair if that tells you anything. for the price look into mb quart.

I want to know the same thing. Everyone makes it seem like a pair saying: I bought "these" speakers but it doesn't say. I'm thinking of going with the 300 watt which clearly depicts it.

I am no expert. I am using a pair of 10+ years old Jamo bookshelf speakers. I am happy with this setup.

Polk audio what? One ten inch sub? 4 6x9s. Go on YouTube and do your research. This is a 2 ch 900w max. Rms is the speakers happy range but when you add multiples it can stress out the amp. General rule of thumb: You should ALWAYS have more amp than you need. Have good grounds. Keep it simple. Know the difference between ported/sealed, dvc/svc, component/coax. _ FYI I bought this amp to power a 10 inch sub that had a 600w max. Tuned correctly it can break apart kidney stones...Just saying.

You can check on crutchfield.com for compatibility they usually have notes if you need special adapters or mounting kits. Then come back to amazon they have better pricing here.

I appreciate that, I wanted to get back to you.I love my Definitive speakers I am running the 40s on the sides I'm running actually 10 speakers with definitive studio 350s in the rear a separate single powered older Definitive subwoofer I bought in the early 90s for the heck of it, the 8060's in the front, and an 8080 center speaker. I listen to a lot of heavy metal and I like my whole house to expand and they do the trick, your set up sounds perfect for the 40s, I'm sure you'll love them.Stan

These aren't powered cabinets. You need a power amplifier. They're not terribly high power, so it wouldn't have to be a high wattage amp.

The speakers are 20 Watts RMS That's a bit too much power for those speakers. You should use The Prime R250X4 ...

I have a 24x16 room and I have 2-RC85I's, 2-RCI80's, a Pioneer Elite SIW571L 5 1/4" In-Wall CST LCR Speaker and a PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer and a pioneer amp and they sound really good. good luck with your system.
