I am buying this pre amp for my dual speaker ( two speakers in one box) of 1200 Watt; will it work? I am afraid this amp will burn my dual speaker.

if the speakers are 600 watts @ 2 ohms each yes, if they are @ 4 ohms or @ 8 ohms no, I used with 2 speakers 350 watts RMS @ 8 ohms works fine, but the amplifier has humming noise I read other reviews with same issue, hope this help.

Mine is hooked up to 2 150 watt crewing vega 3 way speakers and 2 300 watts audiosphere research 3 way speakers and the sub out it hooked to a power bass box. It's amazing and is louder and more powerful then anybody I know. It's been like this for 2 years now with no issues. We do loud karaoke and even if the electric guitars through it. Hope this helps.

If you have a pair of these your options with this amp are 125w to each in stereo. Each sub is 4 ohms and the bridged x1 or (mono) operation for this amp is rated for 4 ohms x1 @ 450w for use with a sub. You have two subs both at 4 ohms so wiring the subs in parallel will create a 2 ohm load on the amp and it will quickly overheat. The manual states unfortunately that the bridged 2 ohm load cannot be used for a sub. I actually tried it and found it to be true with the amp heating up and going into protect.

It's a 2 channel output rated at 12 watts per channel. It would work on 2 speakers, but nowhere near their potential. If you tried paralleling two speakers per channel you would get an impedance mismatch. If I were you, I would look for an amp with 4 channel out put and, maybe more power per channel. Don't exceed the power rating of your speakers though, or you could blow them out and damage your amplifier.

The short answer, yes. If you look at the spec sheet for this amp you will see that it IS rated to run a pair of 2 ohm speakers in stereo. With a 2 ohm load the amp is rated for 150w x 2 RMS. This exceeds the ratings on your speakers. If you just turn the gain down a bit and keep them at reasonable levels you should be fine.

I don't believe this would be a good thing to try. You could damage your amp/receiver with the higher output of this pre-amplifier. I myself would not attempt this. Your money would be better spent on a new cartridge with a higher millivolt output rating.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

It will, but check the impedance of the speakers (measured in Ohms or Ω) and make sure they fall within 2 and 8. Wiring the speakers in parallel cuts their impedance in half, so if they are wired that way make sure it doesn't go below 2Ω. Two 8Ω speakers would be ideal, coming out to a total impedance of 4Ω.I would honestly get a less powerful amp or get this one and some better speakers. This thing puts out 200 watts--split that between your two speakers and it's still 100, nearly double their 60-watt power handling limit. Turn the volume up a little past halfway and you will eventually melt your speaker's voice coil.

It will be fine. It's actually more than you need. Assuming you have a true 1100 watt rms amplifier, and correct wire sizes , clean connections , these drivers are only rated at 400 rms I think. So if your only running one be cautious on how much gain you use. Just remember it's distortion that kills drivers not to much power. Good luck

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

I have a pioneer 400 watt amp bridged for this single 10 inch subwoofer and it supplies sufficient power and excellent sound in the sealed box. I would use at least an 800 watt amp to drive two 10 inch subwoofers. If you like hip hop you may want a box with a port for extra bass boost otherwise a sealed box works fine. -Dan

This amp is meant to push one high watt sub. That's what the mono stands for. I bought one of the for my 12" kicker just one its works amazing together. But if u use this amp to push the two of them it will overwork this amp n the possibilities of blowing the amp is very high. U want to look for a 2 channel amp is the correct watts to match your sub. Hope this helped. I love this amp buy wouldn't suggest it for the 2 of them

This is a good amp but it's for a small system. Like for myself, with no loud music all the time, just once in a while to show off. Lol. Your speakers have a range of 400 watts if I'm not mistaken, so it should power it since it's a 500w model. But I would recommend you to get a 1k watts amp. Kenwood's a pretty good brand for this. At least mine does the work like a charm.

Im running 2 p2 12in with this amp. Its ok... i recommend you run at least a 1200 watt amp with those p3s... i have the 1200 watt on 2 p2s in my yukon.... sounds real good!!!

Hello Ryan, with my old Engl 100 Watts Amp it works really fine. I get exactly the distortion I need. Connect it via fx-loop. Greetings, Tom

My friend who i think actually has a review posted about this amp (gordon or gdiddy) has this amp powering two 15in p3s and they slam! If you are worried about it being too weak just wire to 2 ohm (900 watts) or 1 ohm (1200 watts)

I believe that is a 2 ohm stable amp so I would go with the 2 ohm speaker dual voice coil and look up the voice coil wiring online one way is seires and the other parallel make sure you wire the back of the speaker right one way is 2 ohm and other less than 1 ohm make sure its wired 2 ohm and that would give you the max watts out of your amp the other way less that 1 ohm would overheat your amp.

No. This speaker runs at 600 rms and 1200 is the max output of the amp. You always want to have more watts than the dm's of a speaker. You can always adjust the gain.
