My dad used to have an amp named "gradient" for his vinyl record player, using two 8ohm speakers. The gradient was 80watts, will this amp work??

U need a regular amp for u'r application. This a Great speaker amp,not for a turntable though.
886002
It should. I am driving a pair of Bose 151 outdoor speakers with no issues.

I wouldn't use this unit. It will not drive 8 ohms speakers even though it's rated 90W. Also if you don't connect both channels it will severely overheat. Must be the way the amp is designed.

This is a 8 Ohm speaker so any amplifier rated with about 15-20 watts at 8 ohms will work just fine.

I looked for a Planet Audio 4000 Watt amp and found this, the AC4000.1D. They claim it makes 1,500 RMS, if that is the case, it will be enough to get them moving pretty good. I have a 2000 Watt soundstream on them, and it is pretty ridiculous. I think the amp you mentioned will work if it is something you already have, but if you are looking to get an amp for them, I would stay away from Planet Audio.

Yes it will work but your going to have too much power. Your probably going to have to turn the gain on the amp all the way down. Are you going to run one or two subs. I would run two at 4 ohms if you have a choice.

Yes, just check the ohm level of your speakers and make sure they are in the range of the amp. If they are standard bookshelf speakers, shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, but you will not get the full power from the Amp. You most likely will not notice it, but there will be a loss due to the mismatch. It's in the online manual which you can download from the WEB, it's on page 14. (You have to change the settings on the Amp. so get the book from the Web. and look at it to see how you make the change from 8 to 6 ohm. 8 ohm is the default setting. The PDF file is protected so I can't send it to you on here, you will have to get it from the web "Google it", and you should find a copy.

Yes it would.I'm running two of these.One on an 800 watt 4 x 10 and the other is driving a 500 watt 1 x 18,both at 4 ohms with zero effort.I played a gig recently in a small room and I didn't need to turn the volume past two.It 'll run your 8 x 10.I also use one as a DI when I record.Great sound.

A good brand 8 Gauge should be good for this amp, if(I don't know how you could)you added an extra $10 on the purchase, I have some New 8 Gauge Rolls, I could put together a pretty nice wire kit and ship together! And I can Print of the 18 Page Manual to send along also. Or email it to you!

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!

Yes, this amp would rate at 10watts per channel into a 8ohm load, but power would be a little lower with the load of 4ohm.

No, sorry but it won't. Amps multiplied by volts gives us watts, so with the known wattage of 300 we can divide by the known voltage which is 40 (mine has even gone to 50) and that gives you less than 8.

depends on the speaker load. This will drive 4OHM loads as well as 8OHM. I think its 225 watts per CH for 4OHM speakers and 135 watts per CH for 8OHM speakers. Look up the make and model on Pioneer's website.

I have two pairs of these speakers and they are magnificent. They are also efficient (i.e. don't require a lot of power "watts" to drive them). If you vintage amplifier has at least 40 or 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, it should work fine. This will get you to a medium loud sound level, but not near ear-bleeding sound levels.

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

Hi. Their idea of 800 watts sounds much more like 120 watts, in comparison to a small Peavey or Kustom system (both of which I've owned before). Inside a coffee house, I had to turn it up to 60%, inside a sports bar more like 90%. You'll get more volume if you turn all the tone controls way up, but I don't like doing that.

I am not sure, however I do have a problem. It is advertised as an 8 ohm amp but it is only a 4 ohm. I have been warned that it would damage my 8 ohm speaker. Is that true. I hope that, for both our sakes, we can hook up a reverb to the amp because the effects are not good. Haddon Salt

I am using a pyle PWMA3003T Hybrid amp, this amp supports 8,4,2 OHM. This amp works very well with these speakers, loud, clar, and will not over power speaker.
