What amp should I pair with these if I'm getting 4 speakers total?

I am running 6 speakers and a sub on a single 1600 amp. I am about to break the sub off to its own amp as i am having minor over heating issues if i crank black sabbath for an extended period. I hope it answers your question.

I'd say a minimum 600 watt amp. You don't want a smaller amp that ur speakers will force it to go into protect mode. Any good brand like mb quart, hifonics, precision power, or even pioneer will do the work.

JBL GTO 504 is a good start. but a head unit should be able to drive this speakers with out an external amp. Factory head units may not though.

Not to hear sound, but getting speakers like this is definitely best with an amplifer. I recommend 50-60Wrms to each side (with HPF around 90 hz) for optimal preformance.

I am running:4xInfinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch 180-Watt High-Performance 2-Way Speakers (Two speakers on Channel 1 and Two speakers on Channel 2)1x Pyle PLPW8D 8-Inch 800 Watt Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer (Bridge Channel 3 and 4)(Running a 10" would be better since amp can run it fine)

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.

I would go with @ least a 1000.1 amp depending how many subs u plan on pushing they are competition speakers whatever you do don't hook them up & blast them they (swr-12d4) need to be slowly broken in I did 40hrs @ half setting on amp n volume

I have the hifonic 1000w amp, and you cant do 2 so I got stuck with the 4. Ive had them for a while now and they still wang!!! Best bang for your buck, I got them for $32 each so I cant complain but now I want something more.

I am not a big expert on amps or speakers. I can tell you that I use four Sony Bookshelf speakers which work just fine. See http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SS-B1000-4-Inch-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B000OG88KY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423929572&sr=1-1&keywords=Sony+bookshelf+speakers

The manual says the speakers should be between 8 and 6 ohms impedance. You probably would run the risk of frying the output amplifier by overloading it at 4 ohms.

had these professionally installed. For the four 5.25 speakers they used a 300 watt Alpine amp and for the 8" sub a 300 watt kicker amp. Hope this helps

I use a standard receiver (amplified) and 4 work fine. I added an amplifier/speaker switch to run 4 pairs or 8 speakers from the one receiver. But just for 2 pair any receiver (amplified) should work fine.

It will not be too much. However, you will need to be sure the amp is 2000w rms not peak. Each speaker is a 1500 watt peak 400 rms. Make sure your amp can output enough to support both.

I wouldn't suggest it this is a 4 channel amp you would be better off with a mono if you want more power get 2 amps and bridge them together also depends on if you are wiring the speakers to the amp also.

I always use 12AWG. I just bought 100' from Ebay that I really like because it is red and black. Get yourself some nice banana plugs too and you'll be hooked up sweet. I got those on Ebay too because the price was much better than anywhere else I looked. The items were all located in the US so shipping was fast. Happy listening! FYI, If you are going to bi-amp your speakers with the TX-NR616 you'll only get a 5.1 surround.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

I checked the specs on this amp and it is two ohm stable. No need to bridge. With just these 4 speakers and single amp, you should get 100x4 @ 2 ohm(RMS). Which is within the range of the speakers. The Peak power is 235x4 @4ohm, which may be slightly higher @ 2 ohm. This is just above the recommended power for the speakers, which should not pose a problem as long as you don't max out the gains and volume on the head unit.

I would say to first research what kind of stock amp you have, along with the correct amount of wattage your current speakers handle aka "RMS"... These speakers are super clear but need the correct amount of power amped to them to sound bright in the highs and clear on the mids
