I know the sub has a 300 watt amp but What is the speaker system rated for in watts? I can't find that anywhere. PS super nice speakers!!!

The owners manual is available online. For the BP-8040ST it states 20 watts to 300 watts. I am powering them with a THX Certified 200 watt HT Receiver. I never get to the 0db setting. They are very loud. They are great speakers. The wife loves the small footprint more that I like the sound. And, that's saying something.

Depends how powerful the subs are. I got 4 6 1/2 speakers each speaker is 90 RMS and I got 2 10 inch subs hooked up they are 150 RMS each. Everything sounds great and clear. You might just need to mess with the gains a bit. I definatly would buy this amp if I were in your position, but you just need to make sure everything is wired up currectly. This amp is great for its price! Good luck man hope it all works out!

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.

That amp would be running around 1000-1200 watts at 2ohm if im right that speaker only takes 600watts if u turn your bass down and gain down it be fine but u have becareful not to over drive it... So i shop around for a better match for that amp they are great amps there under rated very strong and clean amps....

I have a TX-SR806 ONkyo receiver and wanted to know if a 100 watt subwoofer is good for this? I have (mirage) nano 5.0 speakers and am looking to buy a (klipsch) polk a subwoofer psw10 that puts out 100 watts. thanks

This should work wel for your system. The total power of my amp stated on the test sheet was 715amps. It has plenty of power. Turn off the low pass switches to the speakers and get your base from the Sub woofer! I think you will be happy!

Oh yeah....... if ya got 300 watts per speaker... RMS I'm not sure. But they sound good, look good and are great for the money! I've bought much more expensive but these guys...... I can't tell a difference! Yeah, they kick ass!

Nathaniel,A 4500 Watt may be just a little bit too much overkill for these speakers. They run at about 8 Ohms and 2200 Watts so in my suggestion a 3000 watt amp at the absolute highest. Remember you don't want to overpower and blow out the speakers but you don't want to under power and damage them either.

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

The important factor is what max are these speakers rated at for me I am running two component sets (8) speakers with 400 max on each set comfortably and as loud as anybody would want, but I got a seperate 400 watt amp to run my single comp 12 sub. If you like it loud you want the amp max to come close to the speaker max, this amp will rate around 700 max.

I've had many amps powering different kinds of subs , to b honest I've had everything from jl to alphasonic and all preformed same to me and I love lot of bass in system. Just make sure you match amps output to sub's . I have a sound stream powering all my full range speakers and alphasonic mono on sub's now ...hits hard

Hi! The description said that there is 100W so I do not know why the information behind the subwoofer inscribed 45W ? what is the 45W imply here ? Please help!

Nothing above 600 watts rms or nothing above a reg 1200 watt amp per sub.but watch wiring the sub notice if amp is momo or 2 ohm stable when bridged if not you mite blow amp or speaker if wired wrong parallel or in series. YouTube has great videos on wiring a 8ohm speaker

Are the speakers 500 watts continues or peak power?, are the speakers subwoofers or 2/3 way systems? I would be cautious about connecting these speakers in the bridge mode because of the 3000 watt power output in 4ohms of this amplifier, also remember that running this amplifier in the bridged mode it should be plugged into a outlet with no extension cord with a minimum 30amp circuit breaker. Before going to the bridged mode try a mono connection it should give you enough power and be safe. Good luck.

This speaker system is an excellent buy for the price and it would definitely solve you problem. The sub has it's own amp for power and has output for (i think) 2 speakers but I did not use this because I had receiver. I would recommend using the speakers with a receiver for best results.
