Would this power a pair of outdoor rock speakers? ( ~88 dB, 8 Ohms, 45 Watts Nominal and 100 Watts Max, and ~50ft 16AWG wire run for each)

I think it would be fine in this application as long as you aren't expecting the speakers to play at loud volumes.

My speakers have the near same 87dB, 8 Ohm, with 16G wire to them with 25 foot of wire so I hooked them together and ran it to one speaker and it sounded just the same. I think 16G wire will be just fine for your situation.

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

Those speakers are probably rated at 1200W peak for like 3 seconds before they blow up, lol. This amp will be just fine for those speakers, but make sure you have the correct cable to hook them up, there are a few options on Amazon, and eBay, I have bought several cables and adapters for my DJ company, and I can tell you, it is nice to have the spares on hand just in case. You will need this cable to hook this amp to your ipod, it's a 10 foot long cable, should be just right for your setup, search amazon for this, Hosa CMP159 Stereo Breakout, 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4 in TS, 10-Feet

My speakers are about 40' and 60' from amp and I used a 12 gauge landscape wire, buried in the ground. Think my amp is 100 watt, I leave volume about 3/4, and control volume from my phone. Has worked great all summer

I wouldn't use this unit. It will not drive 8 ohms speakers even though it's rated 90W. Also if you don't connect both channels it will severely overheat. Must be the way the amp is designed.

Not really. Choose an amplifier with power more closely matching that of the speakers. The amplifier can be as much as about 50% more than the speakers rated power requirements. You are more likely to damage your speakers by under-powering them due to signal clipping. Not that this amplifier would damage your speakers, but you would be disappointed by the diminished performance. This amplifier is a 45 watt x 2 channel output. You only get 90 watts output by combining the two channels. You would then have two speakers in MONO (not stereo) at 90 watts maximum.

hi, andreas. i would not know the answer to your question. i do know that we hooked ours up to our amp as our outdoor speakers, and they have worked great. they even have good sound (in stereo). we had been using a wireless speaker, that worked half way decent half the time. these are much better than what we had, and for the price, are A-OK. best, wp

According to their website, this would be a good choice of power for the speakers. 75wrms @ 2Ohm for each speaker and 300wrms @ 2 ohm for the sub. Make sure that the sub is 2Ohm, though. When you receive the amp it will come with a QC sheet explaining each power rating. Just make sure you tune it properly and it will work well. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r600x5

I don't know. I bought mine to run multiple (8) outside and inside speakers in my shop and patio area. It works well for that purpose. The prior one was a Walmart brand and it was running lots of interference and noise when I went from 4 to 8 speakers. It was only $50 and I am very happy with it's output

I don't know how much performance you are looking for but mine is used to run a six speaker set with two 200w 12 in woofers - all are 8 ohm. It gives me far more volume than I could want. However the remote must have line of sight exposure to work.

I'm sure it would work, but why? you have to worry about the wattage of the signal going in and then you have to convert your AC to DC to power this unit. Better off buying or building a sub that can take the high power speaker input rather than line inputs.

Yes, as long as they are wired that way it should be no problem. I hooked up a 8 ohm speaker to test it and it seems to have plenty of power, especially if you are using them for background music.

It can power anything that takes the direct speaker wire input, but depending on how large the area you want to hear it in is and how much background noise there tends to be 75 watts may not be enough. If you want it heard clearly over any sort of crowd you probably want more. You can also check the impedance of the speakers, the 75 watt power output is on 4 ohm speakers, if they are 6 or 8 ohm speakers you won't be able to get as much raw power out of them.

The speakers work on ohms and watts not on the voltage. So if the ohms coming out of the stereo is 8 ohms and the output does not exceed the 85 watts then it should work just fine

The specs for this amp indicate 40 watts of power for each channel....so I believe it would be within your speakers' parameter.

It all depend on where you are sitting. This is not a powerful speaker and you plan to use outdoor. The audio will be highly diluted. The spec stated 2 neodymium transducers with class D amp and that's it. However, they did not specified the Watt for a reason. My guess is not much, real power output is about 5W, maybe 10W at the most.

These speakers need power. I have 120W per channel and they could take more. Dont skimp on power.
