Yamaha is the best. Any Yamaha will be great that has Sub woofer out. Buy a yamaha sub woofer from Amazon and you will have the best sound system. I have bought the YAMAHA AMP with two sub woofer outlets. I have two Yamaha Subs hooked one on left the other on right. 6 in wall JBL's. Two in front and 4 in the back for sound effects. Amazing sound.

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

The manual says the speakers should be between 8 and 6 ohms impedance. You probably would run the risk of frying the output amplifier by overloading it at 4 ohms.

i have this receiver and love it. I power 3 zones with it. All you need is speakers for zone 2 and 3. No additional amplifiers needed as all 3 zones are powered by the receiver itself. if you run 2 sets of speakers per zone, make sure your speakers have an impedance matching the receivers impedance. Do your research about how to connect them to not generate the wrong impedance. Connect speakers in series: add up impedance and you are on the safe side. If your wiring does not allow to connect them in series, make sure each of the 2 speakers you connect in parallel have double the impedance than the minimum impedance your receiver can support. Example: minimum impedance 8Ohms means you could either run 2 speakers each 4 ohms or higher in series (totals to 8 Ohms or higher) OR 2 speakers 16 ohms or higher in parallel (totals 8 ohms or higher).

You need at least 1200 rms to power the speakers and they are 600 rms apiece so 400 rms each speaker isn't that bad they should sound nice with your amp. I have 4 of these speakers and they sound amazing

Budget wise connect all four speakers to channels 1 & 2 and bridge 3 & 4 for the sub. It would work, but as to get the best performance from your speakers and sub I would have gone with a slightly more powerful amp. If you gots the cash, buy mono block amp cause that makes a difference. I know this amp all too well. Connected things all different ways to test for perfromance.

Justin, I believe I can help. But You need to give me more specifics. #1-What are you using this for , ( a home stereo, or a PA system or as an insturment amp?)#2-What are you plugging in to the rca jacks?#3-What brand of speakers are you using (be specific, Brand and model-please)#4-any other items you are plugging in or out of this amp#Show me a picture if at all possible (of you entire rig) This is a very good amp if you use it as is meant to be used. I'm only trying to help, (if I can_so include all the info that you can. Extralite Justin, I believe I can help.

The impedance of the speaker doesnt change in Bridged or Parallel or Series modes.The important thing is what is being presesnted to the amplifier.The speaker manufacturer here is saying that these speakers will suit amps that require any load between 4 and 8 Ohms....I've used these speakers in my car and would see no issue in a home...I don't know the distance

As I recall there is no need to connect both the A&B; speakers to the input, I connected the amp's speaker A to the speaker selector input, then connected four pairs of speakers to 1 through 4 on the speaker selector, and nothing was connected to the output.

Not a good idea, running them in series wouold give you the same current through each speaker, which would still burn the smaller ones. If the speakers will handle at least 80 watts each speaker you can use this amp to power them at lower volume, but if they are 2 - 10 watt speakers don't try it. They should be labeled as to what power rating is for each.

I connected my Polks in to Onkyo 80watts per channel ( RMS) high current amplifier .works great ..I have JBL Floor standing speakers as well .but really like my Polks

You can even run them off an MP3 player headphone jack.....But they distort out because they aren't getting enough power to make them fully powered....QSC GX3 is a good fit.... a couple hundred watts sent to each speaker minimum is ideal, they max at 1000 per speaker according to JBL but I wouldn't put more than 900 watts per channel, and I wouldn't run them off anything less than 200 watts per channel steady current to get the full effect of the speakers and to make sure they sound good....Speakers, even ones like these can become blown and useless if they are under powered, not just over powering them....So stay in the 200-900 watt range, QSC is a good reliable amp for these.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

Dear John,Great integrated amp and bookshelf speakers. I like the way you think! This will be an excellent match. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

It depends on your settings. I personally wouldn't run that much power to a single speaker of this class. I bought a T500-1bdCP which is rated at 500, but the birth sheet says 811. I burned one up. The installer didn't set the crossover settings on the amp and had the gain too high. After setting the amp correctly I've replaced the speaker and haven't had any trouble since.I do have the same box and subs, but with two speakers in my suv which can handle that load much better.

I bought JL audio 4 channel amp. They sound amazing with it. It's rated 70RMS x 4 @4ohmn. Can't go wrong with that one.
