One more question, it says its maximum receiver gain is 14db, will hooking up a 18db attenna hurt it?
833726
No. it is not going to hurt the gain. actually, it might help a little bit.
833727
No, that will do no harm. The device will amplify whatever signal is on its input side. If you an Access Point has 50db and your antenna is 18db gain the amp output should theoretically be 82db.

I would say it should be fine as long as the 150 watts is not the peak power, but invest in an external equalizer and use together. If you experience a lot "cut offs" or receiver resets, return it and get something either beefier or a brand that pushes more efficient power like Onkyo.

It shouldn't be an issue, it has a pretty strong wireless signal. I would say it will reach at least about 6 feet from your receiver (The USB port).

It's not meant to be "hooked up" into a 7.2 system. You really need to match your speakers with your receiver.if your receiver did happen to have pre-outs you take a risk. Of damage. I have a 7.2 system that I've matched speakers to receiver. It has 130w per ch. and will play loud and clear enough for our neighbors! This amp is a 2 ch amp meant to be played in a stereo system ( 2 speakers). Hope this helps

I agree w/dbrdoc43 - search amazon for "preamp" and read the reviews. A preamp will increase the signal from the ttable so it will be suitable for a modern receiver. Old school amps/receivers had built in preamps; newer ones don't.

4 chanel with a min 150 watt rms rating, should do the trick, bigger is better you can always turn the gain down

It will, but I wouldn't push the receiver too hard if you do (moderately high volumes are okay, but not for sustained periods. The receiver will shut itself down if it feels theres a problem). Make sure to have VERY good ventilation around the receiver also. It is gonna want to get hot because of the low ohm load. You can also get some 50watt 4ohm resistors and add them to the speaker to increase the impedance if you really want to play it safe. Hope that helps. I know it's not the answer a Marantz engineer would want me to give, but I'm a custom AV installer with a background in car stereo. We like to find ways to make things happen, not overstate the problem. Good luck.

It all depends on what you want. Make sure the ohms are matched right. The more bass you want the more watts you want. I have a 1200watt and its only about half way up on the gain setting. Ported box.

Hi Railson....I do not understand your question, "Higher gain antennas recommendations ?"....could you please clarify. Thank you Chris

I really like it, but if that is all you want to use it for I would say no. You can buy other receivers for way less money.

I agree with the other replies. You will need something much stronger for a good signal..

Good question...I have mines up top too, it does not sound bad. What receiver or amplifier are you using or how many watts per channel?I have an Onkyo 80 watts per channel and it sounds pretty good but I am in the process of getting the Onkyo 828.Check your settings, db

If your receiver has enough power (say at least 120 Watts per channel) it should be okay to hook it up to the receiver.

I suggest only using this for a router to boost outgoing signal. It's size cannot help any more in increasing incoming signal then a normal 9dbi antenna can bring in due to the power it can use to receive signal. Connected to a router it can put out very good signal when pointed in the right direction. As per what Javier said, it is best used outside. Mine came wrapped fairly well, only one minor scratch and it was in good working condition.Sorry I couldn't help with this sooner but I only noticed the email notification for this subject today.

I agree with ccapehart on this amp. I have it pushing 1 12" in a ported enclosure and I have the gain turned up about 2/3's w/4 volt preamp input. Class D amps are a better choice. I mainly got this amp because price was a factor.

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.

No. Don't listen to Greg. Greg is not your friend. Greg is nobody's friend. If your receiver has a phono stage, that means it has a built in preamp.
