What is a good amplifier to power these beasts. The cv amps are a bit expensive and I was looking at the Pyle amplifiers. Any good?

The Pyle Amps are way over rated and not powerful enough to push these great speakers,I'm using a parasound 2205A.

The reviews I've seen on Pyle don't look too good. Haven't purchased yet but am looking seriously at the QSC GX5 1400-Watt Power Amplifier.

My 2c here. I wouldn't run 2 sets of speakers off this amp. Even though it is rated at 8/4 ohms, I would just get a speaker selector. This is essentially a $150 amp. I wouldn't mess with it being that it is expensive. And overpriced imo.

Yes, that would work out fine. That's actually what I'm running also. BUT! this is thee second Pyle amp I have ordered and boy does it hum BAD on the one channel. Both did it!

My comment is that I agree that underpowered receivers or amps will easily damage your speakers. I learned the hard way when I was a teenager 25 years ago and the receivers I used then blew tweeters. Then I bought a Carver amp and felt the difference. At this time, I have Carver amps driving L/R/C/Sub Channels on my system. It is safer to have a 250RMS Watts per channel amp than a 40watt receiver. Of course if the Low Frequency Driver is damaged, obviously it was defective.

I have a pioneer vsx-1121K and have the A9's Bi-Amped, hitting these with 220W per channel. Even hitting these speakers with this amount of power they still aren't working hard. I'm looking into getting either a different receiver or a seperate amp to make these guys really shine...

Marc, I don't know the specs of the Wetsounds HT6 you've referred to. I'm powering (4) 6x9 3-way Polk Audio speakers with (1) channel each and a 10" Polk Audio sub with the remaining (2) channels bridged together. So far it kicks hard, (classic rock, blues & jazz)actually way more power than I need in a 22' Scarab. The only thing I don't like so far is the large size & weight of the Pyle. I read mixed reviews about the quality of Pyle amps, but decided to try it since I got it for +/-$160... Happy trails, Mark

This nice little cheap amp will not break from using different speakers. I'm using two of my in home surround sound speakers because I'm cheap and don't have the money yet to buy new car speakers. I'm sure that the Pyle speakers will work just fine and I'm proud to say that my amp is still alive and working fine off of the 12v from my cigarette lighter. You could also look for the amp with an fm radio and or sub woofer output for about 5-10$ more on amazon or eBay. Good luck. Hope this helped you out man.

I bought the Boss amplifier and its 1200w. Its perfect for my infiniti g37 coupe. It was about $70

There are numerous, very good small amps Out There: from Pig Nose to - the one I own - a Schiffler. A speaker will not be a good choice - choose amplification,.

I'd stick with the same. Some amplifiers can operate "unsafely" I.e. overheating or crappy sound, if they can't produce the right impedance per whatever ohm each speaker has. I'd start from ground up if you're wanting bigger better sound

You do not need a Pyle Amp, they are powered as their own unit. Just plug in to power, and your good to go. Thanks

These run at 4 Ohms. If you're looking for something with a little more wattage, try the GMI 9030 Audio Stereo Speakers, these carry 4 - 8 Ohms with 300 watts for the pair and the price is just slightly more. Reason I say this is the Pyle's were good, but my son cranked the receiver on them and blew the speakers about a week ago so I fot the GMI's to replace them and I'm happier with the GMI's than I was with the PYle's.

With the E12, and the E17 available why would you choose E11? I'm trying to learn about these amp's that are offered. (Fiilo) With V-MODA M100's as headphones, do I need an amp at all, and if so, which one and why? Sorry if I sound grumpy, but this is a $139.00 decision, and I don't want to make an error.Thank you in advance.John Gibbs

The Pyle here works great, especially for surround sound. Very good price and I've had no issues in the past year+ that I've had mine.

A decent match would be any decent amp that is around 1100w if youre getting two subs then get a 2000w amp. I bought two of these and a Pyle 2000w 2 channel amp and it sounds excellent for the price of it all! You should try to avoid getting an amp that is more powerful than your sub's as it is easier to blow them but you can always tune an amp down
