how many watts for 8ohm speakers? specifically 8ohm, 85dB 1w/1m and a recommended power of 20-150 watts?

The amp rating is 30 Watts into 8 ohms. But I would not push the amp to its max rating. All consumer (low price) amps distort badly at max rating. You may be able to get 8 clean watts out of it. With the speakers you have 8 watts will produce sound pressure of 94 db at 3 feet. At 10 feet listening distance the sound pressure is 83.5 dB. So don't expect disco level sound with your speakers and this amp. I use this amp to drive computer speakers, listening distance is less than 3 feet and speaker sensitivity is 85db and they sound great.

This amp is ideal because according to specs those speakers are rated at 800 watts rms and this amp is at 1600 watts, using one 4ohm coil per speaker in mono. In any case, this amp can be pre tuned for designated power.

I've tried to find this as well but EV doesn't give that info. If I were to guess based on volume I'd say at least 500watts. To be fair JBL,Osc and most of the others don't advertise their watts rms on their powered speakers.

Most people say around 300 watts each, I went with 600 watts each and positively love them. The wattage is needed to get the mids and woofers to work properly. If you power them right and run them full range a sub is really not needed. Remember most recievers are rated two channels driven, so an external amp is a must. These speakers sound good with 90 watts, they sound like a completely different speaker with 300 watts, they go from good to great.

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.

They are 8 ohm, check about a third of the way down the amazon page you will see product specifications where it is listed as well. They are amazing speakers for the money.

I would recommend at least 2000 watts. I have a PQA4100 pyle amp running twin PADH215 at 8ohms with no EQ. I can max the volume and not distort these speakers. Unfortunately with no EQ there is more mids and highs than lows. At full volume with 4100 watts these will make ur ears bleed. I equal this out with twin 18" sub cabs and 3000 watts. Nicely balanced sound, no distortion, use as my house stereo system. Would like to add an EQ to balance out the sound, but other wise very satisfied.

I have a Yamaha with 120 watts per channel. That seems like plenty of power.I don't know if I'd use less than 80. Good speakers for the money

Hello Popi, I am not sure I understand your question, but I will give you an overall way to work out your speaker needs. An amplifier is rated by its ability to put out a maximum number of watts into an 8 ohm speaker without distortion (typically 2% at most). An amp will drive a speaker at 4 or 16 ohms as well with varying power numbers and volume. It is important that the amp sees an impedance level of 4-16 ohms or it won't operate well (meaning efficiently and possible overheating or shutting down). It is better to have the amp power rating equal to or higher than the speaker rating. An amp overdriven can clip and suffer damage. If you respond with what your amplifier is, mono or stereo, and what it's exact power output rating is I can be more accurate. Are you planning to drive 4 speakers at 8 ohms each?

50watt rated speakers will work just fine with this amp. Max power into 8 ohms is 30wpc. You can get more power output by using 4 ohm speakers, but unless you're trying to fill a large room or you just like LOUD music 50watt speaker will work.

8 Ohm, however they aren't very sensitive at 86db/W/m - meaning you'll have to drive them with lots of wattage (double that of a well build 89db/W/m) speaker. It's one reason a typical Onkyo receiver tends to output +/- 25% compared to similar models from Yamaha/Pioneer/Sony.

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

You need 4 Ohm Speakers that can handle 85 Watts of power. I used 4 Pyle speakers no problem.

Amplifiers are not typically rated in Ohms (which is the work needed to power a device) but rated in Watts which is the amount of work the electrical device can put forward. So if you have speakers (rated in ohms) then you would want to ask if this Amplifier (rated in Watts) can power your speakers. Your speaker limit is 150W (MAX) not the amount of power your speakers put forth, unless they are powered and this product would not be useful at all.

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

360W for the pair, but their math is very generous. 60W per component x 3 components x 2 speakers. I wouldn't drive them with more than 25W, though.
