If they are 65 watts will a regular 4x50 watt aftermarket cd player power them?

Yep that's the max output on the speaker rockford fosgate speakers will run on anything as any speaker you wI'll love them trust me

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.

I have a aftermarket 4x 55w stereo deck and they power them very good. With good wiring they well sounds great. You do need to have the bass turned down just a little and they will sounds like a hundred dollar speaker. I recommend these speakers.

Yes, it'll work fine. If you want the best sound out of them you'll need an amp.

My understanding is 90 watt is the max rating and if you receiver can only do 40 then max won't do much going for more. Sound should be an issue at the low wattage either.

Hi,In my opinion it really depends on how hard you intend to drive them. If you are planning to drive them hard then you may want to consider a 90W so that it doesn't distort as easily as a 40W. If your only playing them at normal listening levels then I think it would be fine.

It will work but u will only get about 2000 watt of clear sound u turn up any higher and it gets distorted otherwise u need a quality power amp

Oh yes! Max power is 40 watts and JBLs could handle more but that is great for average music volume... Instant on with remote is one of the best features of this cute little amplifier.

A decent 50w+ x 2 amp should run them fine. As long as it is a good quality amp.

I am not sure, we are using them as mains sub in my band. We are powing them with 3500 watts Top Pro Amps

I'm no expert, but I would think so. I am running a DVD player as a CD player and I have beautiful sound at about 1/4 power

Probably not, your going to need a amp otherwise they end up fairly underpowered

I think that would be enough. The first stereo I had mine hooked up to was 100 watts/channel and they sounded fine. The main thing is to have the tape in/out or equalizer connections for the processor.

Yes, they will work fine with that system and will be able to handle the power. I believe they would be a great addition to your surround system. I simply love the ones I purchased and have had no problems what so ever.

They do not have amps in them they are passive, you need an amp. but they will handle 400 watts.

You should be able to if you have the power to push themI us them for my Dj set up and it brings out the Hi endbut I have them on there own power amp.

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.

Figure it can handle about a 140 watt load. But amplifiers are not at all efficient, so don't go by the "power" rating of your radio and/or speakers. After looking up a few references, it seems a car cd player requires between 6 and 8 amps at 12-volts; some as much as 15 amps if you start adding bass/woofers. But a "reasonable" power to plan for, I think, would be 6 to 8 amps.So, yes, this power supply should be enough to handle an average car radio/CD-player and a set of 4 speakers.Not to throw you off, but if you have already have another 12-volt battery, you could use it and a trickle charger to recover the battery's charge during/after use. A trickle charge is a bit cheaper. Just a thought. Figure it can handle about a 140 watt load.

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 will agree with you, the rating seems low. I have them operating on 70 volt lines and am running it to 25 watts without any trouble. I'm sure it can go more. Remember, that 50 watts could be 5 amps...+_ depending on output voltage and load impedance
