i have this stereo and it doesn't put out the whole 540 watts it say it does less watts.

I don't know how many mine actually puts out, but it is amazing sound for the money. I get wonderful bass and it would go loud enough to blast me out of the house. High range clarity is good, too.

I can't speak for sony but I imagine this has to do with measurement standards and practices, which have long been controversial. RMS ratings (look it up) are more accurate and reflective of true power output and are always lower than "total" watts, but the bigger numbers look better in advertising. Hope this helps. I agree with Wil about the sound quality and power...regardless of the numbers, this unit blasts and blasts well.

At full power you can hear it but barely. I run it less than full and can't hear it at all.

I bet it doesn't have that much power but I have it hooked up to 2100 Watt emotiva amp

Thanks for your question. This is an 80 watt per channel amplifier. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 36 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

Mine keeps going off on overload and it's not much more than half way up. I am very disappointed with this amp . Tech support told me I had a ground issue I ran a 4awg cable from the battery to prove them wrong now they will not respond .so I'm stuck with a amp that shuts off when I turn the music up

Whatever the wattage is, it is not high enough. It's difficult to hear and I was disappointed with this speaker. I was given a Kinivo ZX100 pocket speaker as a gift and it is fantastic - very loud and easy to hear - and you can link these speakers together.

Yes, usually when speakers are labelled at a certain wattage, it means that is their max wattage they can handle. Your head unit should handle it just fine.

Checked the Owner's Manual which lists the output as 20W + 20W, or 20 watts per channel. Very low distortion permits this compact unit to produce very high quality sound. I have it connected to AudioEngine bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. I am VERY PLEASED with this product.

i have 2 12" hifonocs subs rated for 800watts each so 1600 total and it doesn't come close to powering it. DONT BUY i would guess it puts out around 800-1000 TOTAL

I remember when I researched this boombox before purchasing it, that there were 2 different units for sale - both with the SAME model # but with different power ratings (the more powerful was 10 watts per channel, I believe the other was 6 watts per channel). Not sure why - but perhaps they were manufactured in different years ? I would just made sure you are getting the unit that is 10wpc. I would also make sure your supplier includes the power cord adapter plug(this product was originally built for the Asian market and needs an adapter to plug into North American electrical outlets).

I can only tell you that my Sony receiver has 200 watts / channel and I've had no issues at all with the speakers. You likely will never play them at full power anyway.

It doesn't. You have a subwoofer amp, and a preamp output for an external amp. The subwoofer doesn't put out any watts to the receiver unless the subwoofer has a built-in amp and you hook it up REALLY wrong.

I had my techie guy measure it and it was running between 125 and 150 watts per channel - stereo at 8 ohms. I bought it to power a vintage pair of NS-10s and I have had no problems. Hope that helps.

Def Tech's manual states 20 to 150 watts. Check your Yamaha's owners manual for your output.

Everyone says its about the speaker but this is only partially true. The radio only outputs 7watts on the audio output. Weather you use a 7watt rated speaker or a 15watt rated speaker, you are still only pushing 7watts of audio through that speaker and a bigger speaker won't necessarily make it any louder.

I have them powered by a pioneer sa 510. 30w per channel. Not really impressed honestly. I'd buy something else.

Perhaps the speakers that you used were too large of a draw for this unit. It is a 45W unit so if your speakers had a larger draw than that you may have damaged the amp finals. At any rate, I would request a return of exchange as it could possibly just be a defective unit. Ours works great driving four high efficiency speakers.
