Trying to power 4-6ohm 150 watt speakers for a small P/A system

Depends on what your expectations are....it will drive them unless you plan on pushing it hard for extended periods. I have purchased a half a dozen of these amplifiers for an annual Halloween event. One of these amps have pushed 4-4ohm load at 90% for 6 hours a day for 3 years (one month out of the year)....another amp only lasted a week on a much smaller load...so its hit and miss. I would, however, suggested getting the 2000w or 3000w version of this amp since the price difference is so small.

Use a 50 amp fuse. Also 8 Guage or 4 Guage is sufficient for power wire.amp has about 75-80 watts rms per ch. Mine had a certificate showing 321 total rms (continuous) wattage. Perfect for high powered speakers. Can be bridged for subs as well and 2 ohm stable

It won't work without an amplifier. I have this same amp and speakers, this will work. Your need some speaker wire too. Pyle Home PCAU46A 2 x 120 Watts Mini Power Amplifier with LED Display

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!

I don't know how much performance you are looking for but mine is used to run a six speaker set with two 200w 12 in woofers - all are 8 ohm. It gives me far more volume than I could want. However the remote must have line of sight exposure to work.

If you bridge it to get 150 watts you need to use an 8ohm speaker or it will overheat. I used up the 5.1 A&B speakers on a Yamaha to power surround and an additional B set of speakers in a pool cabana. I have this set up as a third 2 channel amp to power a set of Bose outdoor in ground speakers which are 4ohms each. So far it has worked very well. It's in an enclosed cabinet and the internal fan does turn on when the weather is warm or I have it cranks up. You don't hear any fan noise unless you get close. So I do know it builds up heat. The auto power off and on is a very nice feature.

you only need to power 2 small speakers. you don't need a lot of power. Any receiver will work.

That's chillin'. I'm running mine at 420watts at 2ohm. There is a general consensus that powering any speaker at 80% will ensure longevity and durability.

300 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 18 Amp on the +12 volt rail

This amp is not putting out 2100 watts to your speakers. Your speakers are probably 8 ohms. If they are 8 ohms they are getting 230 watts to each channel. 1050 Watts x 2 Power Amplifier 230 + 230 Watts @ 8 Ohms - 460 + 460 Watts @ 4 Ohms - 920 + 920 Watts @ 2 OhmsYou will need a much more powerful amp. Good luck!

I'm not an expert, but I went off of the 175W per channel rating when I bought this. The speakers I got were Polk Audio TSi 400's that are capable of taking 200W of power so I knew that the receiver couldn't overpower the speakers if I cranked it up.

Howdy. Yes, that should not be a problem at all. I used it (only one channel) to power a 10" JBL W3 and that thing THUMPED. I can imagine what this would do with a couple of 6.5" speakers. Good luck! LRE

No problem at all. Also for future reference, say if you have an amp with four and eight ohm binding posts, just wire the 6 ohm speakers to the 8 ohm posts and rock and roll!

Its a 1500 watt receiver. I"d be very careful using 4 ohm speakers,they will blow up at that wattage,but it will work.

JBL specifications are maximum amplifier power for the speaker at 150W and recommended power handling at 75W (peak of 300W). So, yes you should be fine with a 1000W or 1500W amplifier powering all six of the speakers since these speakers need to be run at 8 ohms. Note, I am assuming you are using a 2 channel home amplifier and have three speakers on each channel and when set to run at 8 ohms the amplifier will have a peak power of 200W for the 1000W unit and 300 for the 1500W unit. If you happen to mean a 1000W or 1500W receiver then just keep the maximum channel wattage to no more than 150W and you should be good. I personally run mine off of a Yamaha receiver that is rated at only 55W per channel and get great sound out of them.

Not knowing your current system or speaker capabilities I could make no recommendations. The SMSL is a 50 watt basis amp not rated as a pre-amp. I would suggest doing doing research on your current system and capabilities before attempting to add additional power. Not knowing exactly what your doing risks damaging your amplifier and/or speakers.

Thanks for the interest in Orb. C. Horan! The Mini T amp drives 15 watts RMS and will work fine with any speaker in the 4 - 8 ohm range. Hope this helps - let us know if you have any more questions.
