My current PA says: parallel speaker 70w and 4ohm min load total.If I buy this PA, would I be able to reuse my current speakers with it?

failing to match impedance causes the signal to be reflected back - heating output amp. So use low power and all is well, Or add a 4 ohm resistor to match and this problem goes away - low volume. Better yet use an 8 ohm speaker.

It should be fine. I push the hell out of my unit like a whipped horse and it hasn't failed me yet.

In the past I have had to deal with mismatched speakers of high wattage. I used a matching impedance amplifier.. Unacceptable here, So a possible solution could be, hook it up as normal. If it works to your satisfaction all is well. If not go to Radio Shack and buy a 4 ohm-1 watt resistor and connect it in series. Depending on speaker design, that could bring out the power to an acceptable level. If that fails... well ... its filter stuff and the cost is probably unacceptable.

If you have a 70w at 4 ohms minimum, this puts out 500 at 4 ohms. It will have no problem driving your current speakers.

70 w and 4 ohm is very small power for this powered mixer, this amplifier send 250 wats per chanel at 8 ohm or 500 wats in 4 ohm

When I bought this unit, I needed 4 speaker outlets . On my speakers are 4 400 watt speakers and they are of the Pevy brand. This unit pushed that sound out of it beautifully. with it the clarity and crispness of the sound when use by and mic or music.The speaker outlet is 250 watts per outlet which is all I needed to run my 400 watt speakers.

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!

I agree, this is a big issue. I also ordered this item from Amazon only to receive the older version with the stands and 75 watt power handling. I returned the item and informed Amazon. I bought locally so I could ensure I received the newer 200W speakers.

I may not be the best one to answer this question because I only use mine as a preamp. The reason for this is that I have 4 ohm speakers. This unit drives 6 & 8 ohm speakers. So I use the preamp outputs to go to a separate power amplifier. All of this aside, i very much like the sound I get. I listen to everything from pipe organ to rock and it all sounds top shelf!

No problem. If memory serves, these speakers will handle that power easily. I am running a Crown 1500 watt amp into them and daisy chaining them so effectively 4 ohms. These are great speakers, light weight and good sound.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

Tom - Just so I understand your question, are you talking about the IPR2 7500 or your existing amplifiers? With the IPR2 7500, your best bet is connect the SP-2s to one side and the 118s to the other side. Correct impedance match and plenty of power. Hugh &00-806-7774 24/7 Technical Support

These speakers are capable of being connected in parallel dropping them to 2ohms but your amplifier needs to be 2ohms or at least 2ohms stable otherwise it's toasted.

Yes it should be fine, that speaker doesn't require a lot of power and this puts out a decent amount of power to power speakers such as the one you mentioned.

Biamping is sending power separately to the Woofers and Tweeters for instance.....I wouldn't really recommend this on this type of system as oppossed to a very high end system(where you could actually TRI-AMP IT with the proper High End Speakers) but that is a WHOLE other ballgame in Audio and very expensive.....If you add a major powerful Power Amp to great speakers that's all you should need(without Bi-Amping to different parts of the same speaker)...but it will be moot if your speakers aren't good enough or can't handle it....

Absolutely NOT! It is a 5W piece of junk! I got one to try and with a 10 A strong power supply I measured a max of 6.73W rms into 8 ohms at 1 kHz at clipping on left front channel, and 5.96W (same conditions) on the right channel. You will be very disapointed with the results. You would be better off finding a used receiver or amp and forgetting about Lepai. Only if you have extremely efficient speakers will they give out any worthwhile sound. The Lepai is not worth it even at half the price!

Anytime you have speakers, the amp should either match the watts or more to carry the load. Never use a amp less then the watts of the two or more. If they are a 1000 watts a peace, you need 2000 watts or more so you can get all they are made for. You welcome! They are good speakers. I have them hook up to a Boss 3000 watts amp.

I ran 2 15inch 24v ac PA speakers off mine the unit is only equipped for 12v so I had to add a power supply

Justin, I believe I can help. But You need to give me more specifics. #1-What are you using this for , ( a home stereo, or a PA system or as an insturment amp?)#2-What are you plugging in to the rca jacks?#3-What brand of speakers are you using (be specific, Brand and model-please)#4-any other items you are plugging in or out of this amp#Show me a picture if at all possible (of you entire rig) This is a very good amp if you use it as is meant to be used. I'm only trying to help, (if I can_so include all the info that you can. Extralite Justin, I believe I can help.
