I am considering purchasing these speakers.. Before I do, would my denon 900 be able to push with 185 watts at 6 ohms? Or should I look for a p

I can push them fine with an X2000. I have these up front with pc-351 and p163 for rears and SVS PB-2000 sub

Yes I'm running 2 6×9 and set of mid and tweets up front and 2 10 inch subs at 2 ohms no problem. Sounds great speakers are 80 watts and 150 watt subs

I would recommend at least 2000 watts. I have a PQA4100 pyle amp running twin PADH215 at 8ohms with no EQ. I can max the volume and not distort these speakers. Unfortunately with no EQ there is more mids and highs than lows. At full volume with 4100 watts these will make ur ears bleed. I equal this out with twin 18" sub cabs and 3000 watts. Nicely balanced sound, no distortion, use as my house stereo system. Would like to add an EQ to balance out the sound, but other wise very satisfied.

It depends on the ohms. These speakers are 8 ohms. If the amp is rated for 4 ohms, you will fry your speakers. If the amp is rated at 8 ohms, you should be fine. I have a pair of these speakers hooked up to an an amp thst puts out 125 watts @ 8 ohms per channel and they sound fantastic.

These speakers sound great with around the RMS and above put to them. I have ran my amp to it at 600 watts at 2 ohms and I've ran it at 1200 watts at 1 ohm both sounded great. Obviously it hit harder with 1200 watts but it was thumping just fine on the 600. If you have a good enough box with the right air space for the sealed/ported enclosure factory specs that you can get from sundown's website you will be happy. These speakers soak up the power so if you can give it more do it.

I measured them when I got them and they were something like 2.6. These are designed that way to accommodate OEM wiring, which I smaller gauge than aftermarket, and low powered radios. Installed the resistance is over 3, but that is less than using 4 ohm speakers. Actually, amps get more control, but require more power with higher resistance. That is way home stuff is 8 ohm. In a car power is limited by the alternator output. For matching, look at the RMS Watt rating of the amps and speakers and try to match 75% to 150% of the amp rating. Speaker sensitivity will also be a clue. A 3 dB difference means twice or half as loud. So a proper Watt RMS and as high a sensitivity possible is a good general rule. These are rated at 93 dB so they are better than most. Sensitivity is the measure of sound at 1 Watt power from 1 meter away.

I consider 75 RMS 2 ohms is fine. I think this speakers are overrated. I use them long time ago with my alpine V-POWER series amp, calculating 100 RMS 2 ohms per channel and soon burned the tweeters.Before that, I used 60-70 RMS per channel and everything was perfect.sorry for my bad english LOL

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

Oh and I read other comments. About putting to 1 ohm. Bad idea. That's what I did. To my 2 15" boss subs and exploded the ass end of them. Then I bought two 15 3600 watt pyles and they work perfect. Lots I bass. And can handle more.

My understanding is 2 OHM is better. I would however recommend you install the amp to get the proper sound that the speakers are capable of. I have not done this but I need to.

They sound amazing. We are using them for some music recording. Before we got a dedicated amp for them, I used an old Pioneer receiver that we had to power them. They worked fine w/ it. I'm sure your Denon won't have a problem.

should be able to connect 4, 6, 8, 16 ohm without a problem - the real question would be the power source capacity and the number of speakers connecting to the Monster Caber SS-6 - perhaps Monster Cable could better answer - I have 6 8 ohm in ceiling speakers connected however my Denon power amplifier only produces a strong signal to 4 of the speakers - an audio expert has recommended that I upgrade my power supply

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.

Hi, I apologize for my ambiguous answer: but it all depends on the spec of the speakers. i.e. Impedance and power rating. I would say that if the speakers impedance and power rate are in the 4 ohms and 60watts. Then it is ok

Let me add one other thing. Kicker under rates there amps. You will get a bench test card with yours. It will tell you the real power of the amp. Mine is a 1500w, but benched at 1723w. To much power can cause distortion and blow your speakers even if you keep it turned down. Too little and you get bad sound and overdrive your amp. If your subs are rated at 750w @ 2 Ohms and you have two then 1500w is what you want. So keep that in mind. Also remember you want your amp to always do the work for you. So keep the base on your head unit at 0. Then mess around with the EQ on the head unit and the frequency on the amp. Gain can be your enemy if you have really good pre-amps. So you shouldn't have to turn it up a lot. My recommendation if your not experienced is once everything is installed take it to a place that does it all the time and have them fine tune it.

Marc, I don't know the specs of the Wetsounds HT6 you've referred to. I'm powering (4) 6x9 3-way Polk Audio speakers with (1) channel each and a 10" Polk Audio sub with the remaining (2) channels bridged together. So far it kicks hard, (classic rock, blues & jazz)actually way more power than I need in a 22' Scarab. The only thing I don't like so far is the large size & weight of the Pyle. I read mixed reviews about the quality of Pyle amps, but decided to try it since I got it for +/-$160... Happy trails, Mark

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.
