I am NOT bi amping the speakers I'm running 2 channel stereo will they still function well?

I'm running an old Yamaha 2 Chanel stereo and they sound fantastic. I can only relate it to wearing a pair of headphones. I can hear such great detail in these speakers. I don't even know what bi amping is, but I definentaly recommend these speakers.

Absolutely that's what I'm doing and they sound fantastic. Really tremendous sound!

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

These are passive not active which means you will need some type of amplifier. Somthing like this will do: http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-2x75W-Stereo-Power-Amplifier/dp/B001P2R1RW/ref=pd_sim_e_3 However, you best bet is to get some type of active speaker system like this: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-S220-Speaker-System-Subwoofer/dp/B000RQSGYO/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1294928014&sr=1-3 Michael

Sounds like it'll be slightly under-powered. It's always better (IMO) to overpower speakers to avoid blowing them at odd frequencies and high volumes. Power is exponentially more important than quality of speakers. Cheap speakers will sound great with an awesome power source but great speakers won't live up to their potential with inadequate or overrated ( cheap) power/amplifiers. My suggestion is overpowering your speakers about 15-20% more than the speakers are rated for. Won't matter if you don't "work" your speakers hard but under powering effects rebound of the speaker cone and can tear them apart. I believe these speakers are rated for either 125w or 150w. I matched mine up perfectly and wish I would have gotten a bigger amplifier, although they sound great but begin to struggle at very high volumes. It'll be fine if you don't abuse your speakers though.

Hi Willy well I` am only running Four 6.5 3way Pioneer 50 watts speakers. This is enough for my system. You might need something a little more powerful.

I'm running these off of a 100W rms Pioneer amp and they handle it with no problem. They sound amazing with some power put to them. Hope this answers your question.

If you are using stripped bare wire, yes. Tighten down the caps. I would recommend getting some banana plugs, I have these same speakers and use banana plugs, it makes things a lot easier

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.

That will do fine, particularly if you bi-wire. However, you wont be able to drive the speakers up to (or near) full volume. I initially had a 100WPC amp driving mine, and the speaker would clip at high volumes. Only when I upped my power source could I open them up without blowing a fuse. But if you plan on moderate listening you will be fine. Any more and you might find the cops at your door anyways.

no. they would have to be rewired. i also own altec vs 2621. 2.1 they sound good. hooks right up. if that helps.

I am running them with 50 watts per channel from a kenwood double din deck and they do very well. Using a 4x100watt amp would give you more punch but any good amp with more than that is overkill for these speakers.

I would say yes. My stereo is not Pioneer i dont have a amp or equalizer and they sound good...

You're impededences are not correct for your speakers and amp. Look online for the wiring diagram. I found it easy. And make sure you are providing a good ground for it.

I have no problems at all with these speakers. Make sure you get the polarity correct or you'll lose your bass response.

As long as you don't plan on Bi-wiring them, yes it shouldn't be an issue. Keep in mind for better results you should just save up for floor standing right and left speakers. Otherwise I recommend paying the same price for left and right channel speakers.

If you wire them up correctly... make sure you dont go below the amps 1ohm capability and youll be fine. check this link:http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/4-DVC-2-ohm-mono-low-imp.jpg

They will work fine. They are 2 ohm but it's more for power purpose. They will sound loud with lower wattage. Don't expect bass. They have crisp highs and they are a good rear fill speaker.
