What's the best Power Acoustik amp for these speakers if I were to purchase 2?

Well the amp I got its call Power Acoustik D1-4000D Demon 4000 watts Mono Bass Amp & it sound good & hits good with bass I would get that if I was you.

the PA Gothic i have the 4500 and it hits so ****ing hard but you should get the 6000 haha its around 180-200 bucks its really worth the money and you get a lot of thump for your buck poweracoustik.com/store/products/amplifiers/gothic-gt.html

Their amps are very overrated on power ( like their subs). So id say you should go with their 6000watt amp. It's not gonna put out anything close to 6000watts though. Just letting you know lol.

Nathaniel,A 4500 Watt may be just a little bit too much overkill for these speakers. They run at about 8 Ohms and 2200 Watts so in my suggestion a 3000 watt amp at the absolute highest. Remember you don't want to overpower and blow out the speakers but you don't want to under power and damage them either.

Comparing the 2 setups? The Acoustimass sounds better Imo... I actually set up the Acoustimass 3 and added these 161's to the rear channel of the amp. Sounds great

I purchased the "Dual LU43PB" indoor/outdoor speakers to go with this amp. They work well and relatively inexpensive. They are currently available at Amazon for the price of $38.85. The 40 watts is ample to fill the room with audio without breaking the windows. Hope this info is some help. Les----

To get the most out of those speakers I would use this amp, Rockford Fosgate R300X4, in bridged mode. Meaning you bridge the front two channels together and the rear two channels together to get a 2 channel output. I use this amp to drive a pair of Focal 165 AS separates. Its almost 170 watts per channel.

Its ok i guess. I have the power acoustik rz4 2000d's. Ran 2 of them to 2 of them 15's. Have them for sale now for 150$. Less fuses the better. That one has 2

Anytime you have speakers, the amp should either match the watts or more to carry the load. Never use a amp less then the watts of the two or more. If they are a 1000 watts a peace, you need 2000 watts or more so you can get all they are made for. You welcome! They are good speakers. I have them hook up to a Boss 3000 watts amp.

I would go with @ least a 1000.1 amp depending how many subs u plan on pushing they are competition speakers whatever you do don't hook them up & blast them they (swr-12d4) need to be slowly broken in I did 40hrs @ half setting on amp n volume

First off you should try to find an amp that has a lot of power I think these speakers are rated for about 700 W RMS per speaker and you should try to find a legitimate company to buy the power amp from Peavey being one. I suggestion stay away from companies like Pyle their power ratings are not legit

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

Depends on how you wire them up. Perallel or in series. I have my single wired in Perallel which dropped it to 2 ohms and I am powering it with a Audiobahn A8000M that has a peak of 2200 watts and an RMS of 1100 watts. It sounds amazing. So if I were to power two subs I'd get a 2000 watt peak power 2 channel amp and bridge it at least.

I am using this amp for 2 4000 watt subs. Might be a little strong for 1 2700 watt. I also have 2 1300 watt subs powered by a 1000 D class amp that sound great. If you're only using the one sub, I recommend a 2000-3000 watt amp. Take a look at the AC3000.1D. Should be plenty of power. AND, cheaper. Hope you're his helped.

This speaker is 700 watts program power, which means the average amount of power it can handle over the duration of your performance, DJ job, etc. It's peak power handling capability is 1400 watts, which means the top level amount of power it can handle in short bursts, like someone screaming into a microphone or a loud sound effect. So, that being said, an amp that puts out about 500-600 Watts per channel (i.e. left channel for one speaker, right channel for another speaker just like it) RMS (on average) would be ideal. Remember, these speakers are 4 ohm, not the standard 8 ohm of most speakers. This means that hooking up two of these to one channel (either left or right) will give a 2 ohm load on that channel. Therefore, any amp you buy should be able to put out 500-600 Watts RMS into 4 ohms per channel if you want to run one speaker per channel. If you are going to buy 4 of these speakers to run two speakers per channel, then you would want an amp that puts out 1000-1200 watts RMS into 2 ohms per channel. Speaker impedance (the ohms rating) is CRITICAL to get right. Hooking up too many speakers to one channel by daisy-chaining them will drop the impedance too low and you could experience your amp shutting off or not operating correctly. Most amps have circuitry designed to do this in the event of an impedance problem to protect the amp. Take a look at the spec sheet here. http://assets.peavey.com/literature/specs/114378_18647.pdf

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

AMP A-S500 has 85 watts RMS or continuous power. This should allow you to use all 4 speakers using A & B speaker terminals. I have 4 Paradigm speakers (2 Micro and 2 Titans) hooked up to A & B terminals and it sounds great with Cable, CD, DVD, and Radio (FM Rock stations). I prefer stereo to surround sound and for $399.95, I am getting more than my $$$$'s worth.

any amplifier producing 50-100 watts should be plenty i use 160 watts per channel but dont use full power on these sweet little speakers

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.
