I see this is rated at 15 watts rms p/channel @ 4 ohms. Most speakers are 8 ohms, can this push 8ohm speakers?

can say, i'm pushing 2 fisher studio 1o inch, and pioneer full range 12 inch, in my studio. i use 2 to mix down , and all four to kick back. crank this little amp up, blow you away." and yes they are " 8 ohms " i have (2) of them.

Impedance it selected at the Amp or Receiver, I don't see why not. I have all 8 Ohm speakers, so this is not an issue for me. You can't mix/match 8/6/4 Ohm. Hope this helps!

I don't own this but am considering this. The manual shows an audio out so you could go into an amp with that. The speakers are 3 ohms and have a jack on the side that would allow you to power a speaker, if you could get or make the same connector that they have. The issue will be the 3 ohm 7 watt rating. typically speakers are either 4 ohms in smaller units or 8 ohms in larger speakers. You will see less volume with speakers with a higher impedence with 8 ohm speakers being only about 1/2 as loud as the 3 ohm speakers that are supplied with the unit. There could be other problems with impedence mis-match but I haven't tried it to know.

According to the manual (which you'll need to print out from a PDF) it will support 4 ohm speakers. You set the speaker impedance as part of the set-up procedures. I don't know the power level, but I imagine there would be sufficient. Hope this helps.

There is a speed in your car that once reached gives you that comfortable pleasure of driving. RMS is a lot like that. Its sort of a measure of practical use; a realistic working volume. Don't drive at max speed and don't listen at max volume. Ohms are a measure of resistance and the range given speaks to the limits of that resistance within the speaker system. Watts generated by the source (radio) have to move down the wire and encounter the resistance of the speakers to transfer that energy into a sound. It takes more power (watts) to push 8 ohms than it does to push 4. No speaker works for long at max power from the source, just like your car going max speed all the time blows up sooner. This relationship is expressed in a math equation called Ohms Law, BUT simplify it all and pick a speaker with an RMS equal to the output RMS of the source. Your source will have RMS ratings for each channel, usually one channel for front and one channel for rear. Raising the volume may announce your party presence more, but it will also destroy the sound quality. Wattage is only from the source and is over rated in retail just to sell gear. The wattage you ask about is a limit the speakers will accept at least once before they blow. Google Ohms Law and you will find all the tech relationships but the KISS answer is to match the RMS...work smart and enjoy.

This amp would push 2 subs at 2 ohm. It can run 1ohm all day and not get too hot to touch . This amp produces well over its rating . 400 @ 4ohm 800 @ 2ohm & 1200 @ 1ohm. Mine came with a birth sheet of 1335watts RMS @ 1ohm. It pushes my 2000 watt square to its limit . This amp could eat lesser speakers.

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!

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you. I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

I believe so. The manual instructs using 8 ohm or 16 ohm speakers and the power handing spec in the manual is 4 Ohm load. I have been chaining two 8 Ohms each on L and R monitor outs and would do the same on the mains in a live setting. Clear as a bell at rehearsals and still lots of headroom available.

The Fosgate has a 400 Watt peek and after you do the math of the RMS it totals up to 380 RMS but, I'm sure the max watts of each of your speaker should be high the RMS you specified. I don't know which speakers you have plus, how you plan to connect 6 speaker on amp that has 4 channels. It make a big difference and you're not giving enough information to give you the proper answer.

Itll push it. But if you want it to hit hard id recommend a better amp. Wire the sub to 2 ohms for the amps full potential.

GENERAL rule of thumb: amp should be 1.5-2.5x speakers rated power at correct impedance. You have 600watts already pushing speakers. You want 600-1000watts for the sub, by itself.

It goes up to 2 ohms, so 3 8 ohms speakers per channel but stay within the ohm wattage per 8, 4, & 2 ohm load.

it can be bridged and will push 15s. but its way under power and u will put a lot of stress on the amplifier

Amplifiers are not typically rated in Ohms (which is the work needed to power a device) but rated in Watts which is the amount of work the electrical device can put forward. So if you have speakers (rated in ohms) then you would want to ask if this Amplifier (rated in Watts) can power your speakers. Your speaker limit is 150W (MAX) not the amount of power your speakers put forth, unless they are powered and this product would not be useful at all.

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel.
