They should be fine at the beach. I use mine with my RV and there out in all kinds of weather. Amp wise running 5 sets I don't know.

They should work fine i that application. Get a 1000 watt amplifier and you will have ample and proper power.

They are listed as 200 watt speakers, however, they will not handle that much. If it's for a bar they will not be overloaded and should be OK. I had a problem getting the brackets to tighten up to the speaker. They are not very well made. You get what you pay for.

Are you asking if these are OK to use with a 130 watt amp as the only speakers, without a Sub or a center channel? My answer would be "yes" but you don't want to crank it up all the way. However, because Klipsch speakers tend to be more efficient, you probably wouldn't want to pump the maximum watts into these speakers because it would be too loud, unless you are into REALLY load music. I wouldn't worry so much about the amp rating, I would be more worried about the balanced sound output. I would find a subwoofer of some type to add to these for a balanced sound. They are great down to about 100 Hz, below that they fall off pretty fast. But, if you're not into bass, then they will do fine alone.

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

They are passive speakers, so they are neither 120 or 220 compatible. You need a separate amp to run them.

I am not sure, we are using them as mains sub in my band. We are powing them with 3500 watts Top Pro Amps

a 110 watt amp wont push them very hard, but you will get a little bass. i recommend about 200-300 wats per sub.

Too much amp....these speakers are only rated for 200W peak. You'll likely blow them right out of the cabinents. You'd be better off with the SL-15s with that much power.

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

The best amp wattage would be right around 3200 cause they peek at 1600 each speaker. I made the mistake of only getting a 1800 watt kenwood which is a good amp just not enough power. No matter what they will bump though

It will be ok as long as they are not over 35 watts. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana

I bought a pair for stereo speakers. Used one in one set that I was repairing. Sounded good and they are very inexpensive, yet well made. Don't know about how welll they'd stand up to 500 watts. But in a combo amp, which are usually not huge amps, I'm sure it will work just fine. And youl'll save a few bucks for a case of beer to slowly break in your new speaker(s)! Best of luck and 'Rock On!'

It depends on the ohms. These speakers are 8 ohms. If the amp is rated for 4 ohms, you will fry your speakers. If the amp is rated at 8 ohms, you should be fine. I have a pair of these speakers hooked up to an an amp thst puts out 125 watts @ 8 ohms per channel and they sound fantastic.

I have a 200 Watts per channel Adcom amp on them with no issues. This is is a separate amp not an AVR so it is a true 200 Watts unlike todays AVRs that are overrated and underpowered. I must admit it took awhile to break them in to get them to play bass so be patient.

I have them in my boat. Plenty of sound. You will need an amp to get the best out of them.

No. They really aren't 1000 watts. But they do sound good. I think if you get a good clean amp you should be ok.

These Yamaha speakers connect to a amplifier with standard speaker cable. 60 watts per channel should be fine.
