I have a Denon 891 95w per channel amp. Will these sound good with this amp? I plan to bi-wire since the amp is capable.

It should sound just fine, if you plan to blast the speakers bi-wiring will def help! But it should be fine!

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.

Plenty. Wattage is not a good measure, but the front channels are 250 RMS. Mine are driven with a mid-high-end Denon and they are crisp at high volumes.

I have biwired them by connecting 4 teminals on my monoblock amps to 4 teminals on each speaker. They can go very laud if that is your question. Actually they sound much better under the load

the 809,---- 135 watts channel should power these very well, I think as I'm using 717, --125 watts and it' fine. Good luck and enjoy.

RMS wattage for these subs is 250. So whatever amp you get that puts out 250 rms per channel would be good. I personally have an 800 watt peak power amp, not sure of rms, and they sound and work just fine. Hope this helps.

I bought a pair for stereo speakers. Used one in one set that I was repairing. Sounded good and they are very inexpensive, yet well made. Don't know about how welll they'd stand up to 500 watts. But in a combo amp, which are usually not huge amps, I'm sure it will work just fine. And youl'll save a few bucks for a case of beer to slowly break in your new speaker(s)! Best of luck and 'Rock On!'

Hey Phillip -- I am no expert and do not own these speakers but the its a pretty good relaibel rule to ever add speakers. You will mess up the impedance math and degrade sound and could evenutally blow your amp.

I have these speakers for my back surround sound speakers. They sound great with my denon 1312 receiver.

That depends on what your amp output is. If your amp only supports 2 ohm speakers then no they will not sound good these are 4 ohm speakers. I got a pioneer deck and a amp bypass wire and they sound awesome!

if your not running any crazy wattage then no problem. this wire is plenty beefy. i have a yamaha 115/channel surround and i have no issues.

My speakers have the near same 87dB, 8 Ohm, with 16G wire to them with 25 foot of wire so I hooked them together and ran it to one speaker and it sounded just the same. I think 16G wire will be just fine for your situation.

They sound great for both but definitely get a sub too (I use an SVS SB 2000) . I have a Denon 2100w receiver powering mine and I also use one as a center channel. Oh and its in a 19 X 17 living room with 20 ft ceilings.

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

I have a peavy amp 130watt per channel totals of 260watt for both channels, will my amps able to crank up these speakers?

If you put 100w per speaker these will be super loud and super clear. That is if you are using a really good amp. These speakers like really clean power.

According to the stats, your alpine has a built in amp of 18w RMS / 50w peak per speaker. My head unit: Aiwa CDC-X227 has 22 w RMS/45 peak. I am running these in the back and 6'' round Polk db's in the front strait off my head unit and have had no distortion up to uncomfortable listening levels. These are 4'' round speakers so as long as you are not expecting these to "thump" *, you should have no problem running these without an additional amp. (*note: I'm not saying they don't have good bass, but they are not very big either)

I have a 200 Watts per channel Adcom amp on them with no issues. This is is a separate amp not an AVR so it is a true 200 Watts unlike todays AVRs that are overrated and underpowered. I must admit it took awhile to break them in to get them to play bass so be patient.
