It says the speakers are 60 watts of power. Is it 60 watts from each speaker or do they share the 60 watts between them? Thanks!! Dennis

It is shared , the amp is in one speaker and pair of speaker wires carry signal over to other speaker

Hi Dennis, these speakers have 60 watts peak power per speaker. 30 watts RMS or consistent power per speaker. Hope this helps.

Honestly it's probably 30 watts each speakers. You are not holding a concert with these speakers. The bluetooth works pretty well and the sound quality is worth the price. I have a small backyard and these do just fine. Great Value for the price. Only wish would be to have the option to turn them up a little more. I would purchase again.

I am not sure the exact wattage rating but my reciever puts 80w per channel and I wouldn't go much higher than that. The speakers are clear, but also keep in mind the subwoofer is not powered. I was unaware of this, when the description says "200w" I thought it had a 200w sub amp. I had to purchase a separate subwoofer. Average speakers for a low price.

No, they all must be powered. I tried that at first and had to return the non-powered speaker. I bought a second powered speaker and they worked perfectly together. It's a little more expensive for the powered version but it was worth it for me.

Each speaker can handle up to 180 watts of power for short bursts (Peak). The speakers are rated at 60 watts RMS (each). Basically, a 60 watt per channel amplifier would be the best match for these speakers. Here is more info on peak/RMS power: RMS power vs. peak power Don't be confused by "peak power" and "RMS power" ratings. Simply put, RMS wattage ratings are a measure of continuous power - while different manufacturers will use somewhat different methods to come up with these figures, it's usually a more "real-life" rating of your equipment's capabilities. Peak power, on the other hand, doesn't try to reflect realistic operation. It's simply a measure of how much power can be generated or handled for very short bursts.

I´m not completely sure but I think it's 30w per zone, 15w per stereo speaker, I have the system paired with Sonance speakers model CR101, the store where I bought them told me this model of speakers are ideal for this kind of applications, when friends come to my house I usually set the volume to 40%, at 80% it's very loud, and I'm 38 jajaja don't think I'm an old user, at 80% you can't chat with friends.

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 was going to say it seemed like 100 watts rms was the stated max for wattage--and durned if I wasn't right....Just know its just a numbers game with higher #'s being more impressive. I look at the sensitivty rating of the speaker 1st especially for car systems--they seem to play even more 'bigger is better games' than the home system players. Anyway, it's all in your ears when it comes down to it...that and budget restraints.

Hi! The description said that there is 100W so I do not know why the information behind the subwoofer inscribed 45W ? what is the 45W imply here ? Please help!

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

I checked my speakers and there is no information relative to wattage. All it has on it is that they were made in China (Surprised?) They are very low wattage I am sure.

The speakers are wired to each other, about 3 or 4 feet. The right speaker has the amp and takes the power.

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?

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.

60W RMS per speaker. That said, JBL's like good power. Some users run more at these with good results.

Note: the speakers are NOT wireless. As far as the watts per speaker, they don't say on the back. Check the specs.

It means that the peak Watts that the unit can use maximum is 350 watts so that is for each set. So if we are talking about continuous maximum power handling it would require that we multiply by .707 so it would operate at 247 watts continuously. So together they operate at 123.5 watts continuously. You would need a 250 watt RMS 2 channel amp for the speakers. 125 watts per channel. Anything larger and you will blow out your speakers.

Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one? What is the nominal impedance of each speaker? It is important to know all of these things to make the correct suggestion. I assume that they are probably rated at 600 Watts continuous (1200W Program/2400W Peak) because it is rare to find 1200W and 2400W (continuous) 15" drivers. Also, how loud do you plan on playing them? Do you need them running at full volume or do you just want to listen to them at "normal" levels in your home and maybe somewhat louder on occasion? Heck, just tell the name and brand of speaker; that will be the most helpful.
