I have a dual speaker of 1200 watts for my PA system. This is for a performance at church. Can I use my one speaker of 1200 watt?

The receiver is ok, but I don't think it will meet your expectations. I don't think the receiver can handle 1200 watts speakers. Handle means, utilize the full potential of 1200 watts speakers. That is my opinion.

i have speakers and amplifier ready.thanks.can you refund early for me please.thank you so much

You can try...but it won't be very loud. You'd only be putting out 50 watts on each speaker. You'd want to have a unit that can throw out 200 watts for a two speaker system.

Yes, you can. Wattage ratings for speakers can mostly be ignored, as it is a difficult thing to determine exactly how much 'program material' a speaker can take, manufacturers just give consumers a nice round number.

This is a small portable speaker with a 3 watt output. Power output equals range. Gym? Auditorium? The answer is no. Two of these speakers could realistically be used to listen to source material in a medium sized room.

I have the one kicker in my back deck with four all range speakers in the doors and it sounds fine with clean strong bass. My amp is only 200 watts powering all of that, so I would see no reason why 400 watts would have an issue handling two kickers.

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

Sorry - have to know how many amps or milli-amps your speaker is + how many milli-amps your power supply has too because they have to be similar. Power supply has to be at least as much as the speakers. Hope this helps a little....

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff.

Short answer = No. Long answer = maybe Speakers are rated in Watts==its a Power measurement. Power = I [current in Amps] x Voltage [of the line out from the Amplifier.] http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electrical-formulas-d_455.html The power supply is rated at 24 volts and 5 amps which = about 120 watts to power the unit. The amplifier is not a bridged type amplifier and cannot drive anything less than 8 ohms on one channel. Maximum 50 watts per channel. see --- http://www.daytonaudio.com/media/resources/300-383-dayton-audio-dta-100a-manual-43827.pdf As you wish to put two speakers in Parallel and they are 8 ohms=== then you are lowering the ohm's of the speaker to about 4 ohm's, this is not in the spec for this amplifier. If your speakers are 16 ohm and you put them in parallel then that will be alright === the result of that is 8 ohms, this is how most TV speakers are set up.[ assuming that each is 25 watts.] Remember it is a small amp and to incrementally increase the volume over time to see how it handles it. Else get a different amplifier.

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful

Speakers should be according to the amplifier power output rather than the mic but, if it helps, I am currently using it with a pair of Yamaha BR15 on a 3000 watt amplifier without any issue.

JBL specifications are maximum amplifier power for the speaker at 150W and recommended power handling at 75W (peak of 300W). So, yes you should be fine with a 1000W or 1500W amplifier powering all six of the speakers since these speakers need to be run at 8 ohms. Note, I am assuming you are using a 2 channel home amplifier and have three speakers on each channel and when set to run at 8 ohms the amplifier will have a peak power of 200W for the 1000W unit and 300 for the 1500W unit. If you happen to mean a 1000W or 1500W receiver then just keep the maximum channel wattage to no more than 150W and you should be good. I personally run mine off of a Yamaha receiver that is rated at only 55W per channel and get great sound out of them.

Hello. At 4 ohms that amp provide 525 watts. That is plenty so I would just use both channels of your amp, on for each speaker. You would not want to bridge your amp with these speakers as you would then be providing 1550 watts at 4 ohms and would almost definitely blow the speakers. Also if you bridged your amp you would only have one channel. So either you would need two amps, or you would try to daisy chain these speakers and I don't believe that amp will work at 2 ohms.

You could. However, probably not enough wattage to power additional speakers.

Look at the specs for power. Kicker recommends a maximum of 75Watts per channel. You can have an amplifier with less power, but you will not be taking full advantage of what the speakers could output.

Whoops sorry, meant 1200 Watt amp. If each is 800 watts then you need a 1600 Watt amp. If they're 800 watts total, then you need an 800 watt amp, otherwise you risk doing some damage.

Hi, I apologize for my ambiguous answer: but it all depends on the spec of the speakers. i.e. Impedance and power rating. I would say that if the speakers impedance and power rate are in the 4 ohms and 60watts. Then it is ok
