with theses 15s it says 3000 watt max can i push 3000 a speaker or no
1991733
No. They are 1700 rms. I have 2 on a power acoustic d1-6000db amp. I have the amp pushing 3500 rms not the full 6000 and ive had my back window glued back down twice.

I cannot answer your question without knowing the output of your amplifier. You need to be more concerned with the output of your amp than the watts of your speaker.

I don't own this but am considering this. The manual shows an audio out so you could go into an amp with that. The speakers are 3 ohms and have a jack on the side that would allow you to power a speaker, if you could get or make the same connector that they have. The issue will be the 3 ohm 7 watt rating. typically speakers are either 4 ohms in smaller units or 8 ohms in larger speakers. You will see less volume with speakers with a higher impedence with 8 ohm speakers being only about 1/2 as loud as the 3 ohm speakers that are supplied with the unit. There could be other problems with impedence mis-match but I haven't tried it to know.

yes, just make sure they are 8 Ohm... Wattage is really the top end of how much power they can handle, the ohms is the impedance (think like resistance) if the impedance is too low, it is like shorting out an amplifier. Almost all speakers made today are 8 ohm. and 100 W of audio is way more power than is comfortable to listen to in any home setting.

I have a hyfonics 3200.1 at 1ohm pushing these. It's turned down to push the speakers without blowin them of course. I'd say your probably fine with that amp. Remember if you get a bigger amp than needed it will operate much cooler than getting a amp and having to turn it up all the way to push them. I recommend getting something a little bigger and tune it accordingly.

I have some boss subs in this box. They have a 2300 watt max on them and they push hard and sound great. But I've never owned kickers.

I never used a powered speaker to push these ....I recommend u use an amp these can take anything u hook up to them

If they're 8 ohm speakers, this may be a bit under-powered. They have a 3000 model that would be better suited for only a small amount more.

O yea I'm pushing 2 boss 1400 watt 12" subs. The watt rating on your subs is the max they can take not how much they need to be powered

These speaker push more wattage due to their resistance of 3 ohms. I have two of these with 1 12" solo Baric in my suv. Mid's and highs keep up. At times I have to clock down the highs depending on music played.

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

It depends on rated power of your bose speakers. If you have 6 ohm speakers then it will push out 200 watts per speaker. Any more questions just ask me.

It depends on how much wattage your deck puts out. If your stereo is putting out at least 15 watts RMS per channel, that's enough wattage to push these speakers just fine. However, if you decide to go with an amp, make sure that it isn't putting out more than the RMS wattage for the speakers (which I think is 35 watts per channel) and that your high-pass filter is set to about 800 hertz. If you don't use an amp or if your amp doesn't come equipped with a high-pass filter, make sure to install 800hz bass blockers on each speaker in order to protect them.

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.

I'm no Tech, but I've spent WAY too much time researching this stuff. My understanding is that you never want to "under-power" your speakers. Remember, amps not only "put out" power, but speakers also "PULL IN" power. You should use an amp that puts out at least the same power (per channel) than your speakers are rated for. I believe these are rated at 85 watts, so your amp should be as close to 85 watts per channel as possible. In fact, many experts recommend using an amp that puts out at least 25-50% MORE power than your speakers are rated at. This way, you never have to CRANK the volume to get the cleanest, crispest sound your speakers are capable of without pushing them too hard. If I'm wrong, someone tell me why?

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.

If those are rated at 1000w, then they will be louder. As an owner I'm very impressed with the power of these kickers and have no problems. These are excellent quality, but if you want to go louder try the pioneers.
