Can this amp power a set of book shelf speakers? 80 watts ,65Hz-20KHz, 90db, 4 Ohm, pure acoustics dream box speakers.

Absolutely the A3 can power those speakers. My A3 is driving a pair of Micca MB42's, with very similar specs (60Hz-20kHz, 4-8 Ohms Sensitivity 85dB 1W/1M, up to 75 Watts). The sound is small-room filling. In general I've been happy with the A3, though there's a tiny, tiny amount of background noise audible in one channel, and the fit of the volume knob is sketchy (it rubs on the housing).

Yeah, shouldn't be an issue. The 90db sensitivity should be enough for most purposes.

The short answer, yes. If you look at the spec sheet for this amp you will see that it IS rated to run a pair of 2 ohm speakers in stereo. With a 2 ohm load the amp is rated for 150w x 2 RMS. This exceeds the ratings on your speakers. If you just turn the gain down a bit and keep them at reasonable levels you should be fine.

60-120 rms speakers would be ideal. i have 2 sets of polk db6501 rated for a 100 watts rms and this amp pushes them great without problem in prolonged load listening. don't worry about under powering a speaker that is why they have controls on the amp and the only way you can under power the amp is to not supply it with a large enough power and ground wire

Yes, but it will push 480 Watts into 4 ohm load, so you could only use 1 4 ohm speaker cab, or use 2 8ohm speaker cabs (240W into each cab). 320W RMS @ 8 Ohms480W RMS @ 4 Ohms

Sure but maximum volume will be hard on amp. Each speaker has a maximum of 100watts

Definitely the speakers only have 180 watts peak so even if you didn't want to push the whole way ; 100 watts could even run it and its an easy install by yourself I did mine and they sound great by the way; but I also have a pair of jbl power series same size and they sound a little better base wise but vocals they're both amazing but yes the amp will work

Hi Simon, it would work but probably wouldn't be the optimum. They make a similar amp, but especially designed for acoustics. You should take a look at their web site: www.ztamplifiers.com

It will produce sound, the quality will be questionable tho. I put 150w rms to mine and they sound amazing. Between 100w-200w would be ideal IMO. The more CLEAN power that you give them, the better they'll sound.

Yes. I use this amp to power a pair of Infinity Optimus P163 speakers, which are honestly a little big for bookshelf speakers, but the amp works fine at normal listening volumes. If you like your music loud and need to drive bigger speakers you should consider a more conventional amplifier with more power, but for most bookshelf speakers this amp works. You will also need speaker wire to hook them up. This amp and most speakers accept the banana plug wire ends, which I recommend as well.

Yes it would work. You may need to study rms and wattage prior to getting an amp to power them. Id your running highs these speakers will get very loud but you need to have the appropriate amp with enough channels to run each speaker or have knowledge in running a 2 ch at a specific rms

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.

It depends more on the sensitivity rating of the speakers (like, 90db at 1 watt/1 meter), and how loud you need it to be. For typical home theater bookshelf speakers, this amp is enough power for small rooms or enough power to supply background music in a larger room. The distortion increases pretty rapidly once you get over 10W peak output though, so the louder you need it, the worse its going to sound if you need more than about ~80db power at more than 2-3 meters away. Just keep in mind - if you're using this to upgrade from tiny computer speakers or the built in speakers on a TV, its already a lot more power than those systems are capable of, but a lot less power than a well built home theater receiver. tldr version: Its probably enough, but I don't have enough details about what you're using it for to be sure.

Hi Tyrus, I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well. Thanks and I hope this helps Fernando

Jeremy,The R1002 will power your bookshelf speakers just make sure you don't go below 2 ohms per channel. If the source has RCA outputs you could use RCA cable and connect them to the RCA inputs of the R1002. Also make sure you are using a 12 volt DC power supply to power the R1002 and supply 12 volts to the battery and remote terminals.

This will work fine for powering those speakers. Be sure you ground it VERY well or it will whine. The one I bought was the hardest amp I have ever had to get noise out of.

Absolutely. The specs sheet info is aimed for 8 ohm speakers, therefore it should not have any problem powering 4 ohm speakers. By the way, wiat a power suply rated at 36V the max power rms it can deliver is 80W (40W per channel) if using 8 ohm speakers. If using 4 ohm speakers it should be able to deliver 160 W, but that would probably blow your speakers!

users guide says 100W x4 max at 14.4VDC and 1kHz, you'll have to decide if that'll work for your speakers and what you're trying to do with them. My uneducated guess is that this thing will get stressed if pushed to the limits. I'm using it well below max and I'm very happy with it driving 4 computer speakers.
