I have a Yamaha Avantage 3040 with 11.2 pre amp outputs. Can I use this amp to power both pairs of "presence" speakers at same time? or do I need 2?

This amplifier works well with the ONKYO TX-NR3010 and is necessary to go from 9.2 or 9.4 to 11.2 or 11.4. It basically is used to power a pair of wide front speakers. And so, if the question is will it power two speakers, the answer is yes. You can always go to the Onkyo website and download the Owners Manual which is the best way to determine if it meets your needs.

When you say both "pairs" of presence speakers, I assume you mean both front and rear presence speakers. It is a 2-channel amp, so it will power either front or rear speakers using your pre-outs. So you will need two of the M-5010 amps. I'm using this amp with my Yamaha RX-A3030 to power my rear presence speakers and the Onkyo M-282 to power my front presence speakers. Also, Onkyo recommends turning the volume control on the back to maximum and your Yamaha 3040 will then control the volume. I used the M-282 for my fronts and the M-5010 for my rears, since Onkyo didn't have any more M-282s which is rated 100 watts RMS and the M-5010 75 watts RMS. I can't tell any difference since the YPAO does the adjustments. I bi-amped my mains with the left over amps in the Yamaha and the overall sound is phenomenal for both music and movies. Enjoy.

Sorry, but I do know.The signal that comes from the amp's preamp and has RCA connectors that would connect to the AUX input of a preamp to amp with output level control that limits the power amps output.

I use this amp to DJ, and many times use it to power 2 large speakers 600w each and 2 small ones... no problem.I actually have 2 of these amps, and lost one and bought another one to replace it. I lost it due to putting something on top of it, and blocking the air. Burnt it up.Of course, to be sure you could just go with the 3000 W version of the same model.

If this is for a home sound system, you only need one sub. Two does nothing except muddy the bass. The CVA-118x is a stage bass, it is VERY powerful, possibly too much for home audio use. I have one in my home theater, it is plenty, it rattles everything and about blows the glass out!! Yes, it wants power- I put mine on a dedicated 20 amp circuit because I popped the breaker on a 15amp. All is happy now. For stage use I use two. Each on a separate breaker.

This should be fine, however, I see no reason why you couldn't add another amp. It would just be a waste of money considering the amp in these is pretty good already.

No this amp will not provide enough power for two of these beasts. To power two of these you need an one ohm stable amp, and the perfect amp would be the hifonics brutus 1100.d. Hope this helps!

To get the most out of those speakers I would use this amp, Rockford Fosgate R300X4, in bridged mode. Meaning you bridge the front two channels together and the rear two channels together to get a 2 channel output. I use this amp to drive a pair of Focal 165 AS separates. Its almost 170 watts per channel.

I think you can because the other reviews say you can. I have A splitter coming off my computer going to 2 amps. Splitters come off the the other amp and totals 14 speakers. I have this one powering a 250 watt sub that I took and put in a small box. I measured it and is 7 inches across. I havnt gotten to really test it. With so many speakers it's hard to hear much from it unless you get In the floor and put ur ear to it. You have to turn ur volume up high for it to even do much. if you do and put your hand on it; It is vibrating pretty good. I would say yes. If not what you need I assume you could return it. I just give you this info and let you decide. I think you can because the other reviews say you can. I have A splitter coming off my computer going to 2 amps.

You need at smaller amp, this is to much power for you single sub, I got this amp with two vm audio 12 ',3000 watts each one, this amp got enough power to hit very hard my subs, imagine your single sub, will blow out

Assuming your 2 speakers in each zone are in stereo, no. For 6 zones, you would need 12 channels (2x6), and this amp is only an 8 channel amp. If however you only had four zones, yes--this amplifier has individual inputs for each 8 channels but keep in mind that is does not provide switching so whatever device (input) is plugged into that 'zone' will be the one played--you can not switch inputs without plugging and unplugging cables in the back. If you wanted easy switching, you would need a seperate pre-amp/switcher kind of device to do that. (And to clarify for others, you can also plug in stereo inputs and the amp can internally cascade the same signal throughout all 8 channels (in stereo x4).

No, it is a mono amp... I suppose you could run them in series rather than separate lines and it should power both.

you can only run either your 2 15 speakers alone, or your 2 12 inch, but not all 4 speakers, you would be driving 2 ohms draw on all 4 speakers at once and it would blow the amp, this amp is rated for 2 8 ohm draw max, you need an amp that can handle 2 ohm draw in order to run all 4 speakers, or a second amp for your monitors or subs,

Yes... the reason one uses a unit such as this is so that the amp stays happy with all possible combinations of speakers... if you were to use just on-off switches for the controls, you would have a huge impedance mismatch once you had more than 3-4 speakers on... you still be will be limited by the size of your amp and the power needed for each speaker... if you are using this set up for mainly back ground music ... with volumes under "having to yell at each other" ... any reasonable amp will work...

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

I have that setup with 2 audio inputs and output to an ampamplifier. It works fine

I suppose but there wouldn't be a point because ur module will only put out 100 watts... it's not gonna be louder if you connect 2 speakers

I wouldn't suggest it this is a 4 channel amp you would be better off with a mono if you want more power get 2 amps and bridge them together also depends on if you are wiring the speakers to the amp also.

You can use the unit in stereo mode or dual mono. I have used mine with two guitars and two amps. It would be better to use two BBE Sonic Stomp pedals, but it would cost more.
