Can they handle a 100w per channel amp? I'm afraid to blow them out at high volumes.

Recommended Power: 10-175 watts RMS per channel, 350-watts peak, Impedance: 8 ohms "http://www.bicamerica.com/showpage.php?brand=2&type;=7&spkrID;=114"I think you will be fine, but at 100 watts these speakers will be very loud.

Yes, they will take even almost double the power but still remain efficient enough for less power. You will be happy if you get these speakers as they sound sweet for the money and are a good match for the power you will feed them. If you got the room, try the floor standing model of this speaker with 2 6inch woofers and 1 horn if you plan on getting a more powerful amp in the future or are building a home theater system. These speakers also sound equally sweet for home theater as well as music. Hope this answer helps.

Only of you didn't apply all 100 watts. If you want to play music or videos at a very high volume, I recommend you purchase pro-sound loudspeakers. These speakers are NOT made for extreme or high power output levels.

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.

I use a Marantz MM7055 140 watt per channel Amp for these speakers and I think they rock. I can't imagine needing hundreds of watts per channel. If they sound so good with 300 watts per channel hooked up to them, I sure would like to hear it.

1000W peak/ 500W RMS they can probably handle more than 500 RMS but, wouldn't reccomend

Wouldn't count on it. My right channel blew a tweeter after only a couple months, from a 90W/ch amp. Rated for 275W power handling? Not a chance.

These are rated for 80 watts RMS and I wouldn't advise going over that figure. I'm running mine on a Kenwood amp at 50 watts per channel RMS. They sound excellent! They do tend to distort a bit with a lot of bass so I've installed base blockers on my set. Great choice if you're looking for sound quality but I'd look elsewhere if you're goal is to entertain the neighborhood.

I do not have the box anymore with me, but they are running with a 125 per channel amp. I probably do not go all the way up, but have hit it reasonably high and they handle very well and crisp clear. Can not complaint.

Oh yeah!! If that's rms you're referring to. 100w max would be only 50w rms, that's really not gonna do this component set justice. I'm pushing mine with an Alpine amp with about 100 w rms if not a little more and they take every pit of power.

They can take 120 watts straight out. I haven't pushed them pass that level.

yes, just make sure they are 8 Ohm... Wattage is really the top end of how much power they can handle, the ohms is the impedance (think like resistance) if the impedance is too low, it is like shorting out an amplifier. Almost all speakers made today are 8 ohm. and 100 W of audio is way more power than is comfortable to listen to in any home setting.

Oh heck yeah, without a problem. I'm running a Pyle 3000 Watt amp & their taking it all just fine. I strongly recommend these speakers. I couldn't be happier.

These speakers are rated for 250 watts but nominal is 40 watts. So yes more than likely you will blow these at high volume. These speakers are really just made to go off head unit power so if you got that kind of amp I would look for a better speaker.

No not at all. They are generally low impedence @ 32ohm so an amp is not really necessary to dtive these.
824246
Yes they would probably sound very good on that system. Most likely that 1000 watt system would have less than 250 watts per channel.

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.
1022864
It should be fine. They can only handle 600 watts of maximum power so just don't turn your amp above halfway and you should be fine.

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful
