Want to wire this amp to the current L & R speakers of my surround system from . Any chance of damaging my surround system if its turned off

I don't have this unit anymore--trashed it--had a problem with the on/off switch that would turn itself off whenever it felt like it...sorry!

This amp uses line level input which is 1.7Vpp nominal. The same signal that your home stereo CD player would output(as an example. You cannot connect the input of this amp to the speaker terminals of your device. The amp would be damaged from the power level out put of the speaker terminals. If you must use the speaker of your existing system to power this amp you must get a SPEAKER LEVEL-ATTENUATOR/MATCHING device. This will convert the 8ohm speaker impedance to 10K ohms and the provide limiting so that the output would not exceed 2vpp. You can et such devices on Amazon and they are not expensive.

Are you planning on having them both hooked up, to the speakers, at the same time? I've never tried that before, but it would be fairly easy to wire in a source selection switch to help prevent them from affecting each other.

As long as your speakers are 8 ohms there is no reason for the amp to overheat. I would say that the amp was defective.

Yes for sure.. Wire your speaker to one ohm.. Hope your amp is stable at one ohm

You can not run powered wire like cable wire. It is a passive sub that you have to run normal speaker wire

I ran a wire from my led switch to the amp that way the amp is only on when my lights are; The lights are a good reminder to shut it off. I'm not sure if the was a light or not on the amp but i know it still pulled power when speakers were "off"

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 leave mine hooked up to my Bose system, but I keep power switch to the amp off. I have not had any difficulties.

I have used it without grounding the preamp. It worked perfectly, and, the instructions say nothing about your question, so I don't think it is a problem to worry about.

Amps will get hot to the touch when pushed, but if they get so hot they shut off you will probably have to check how your speakers are wired. This usually signals to much resistance popping the overload circuit.

You use a coaxal cable to attach the power supply to the amp. The amp only passes RF, no AC or DC. You should know the RF level before using it though. It is also best to use it before any splitters.

Thank you for asking. The powered outputs on this are stable down to 4 ohms. As long as the impedance on your speakers is high enough the amp will be ok. If the speakers are rated to the right power they will be safe as well. Have a great day!

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

Hello there this is a pasive speakers. Not power supply need it. The more important think is rhe maximun power level of your amplifier. I use for surround and the performance is great. Regards from Spain.

The amp will not turn on and off with the preouts, you need the remote. Please refer to your local installer, thank you.

Sure you could connect it to any watt system.. It itself isn't amplified so cannot hurt any system.. And I believe this one does not have balanced XLR out's,so you'd want to get two DI(Direct In boxes) and use two 1/4-Inch cables from the main out to the DI's..

I don't believe it will work as part of a surround sound setup. The input is optical and so I don't believe you can setup the amp to output via the optical port the centre speaker.
