What's the distortion? This amp weighs 4 lbs less than my Onkyo 100W RMS @ 8 ohm power amp, which weighs 23 lbs and has a lot more circuitry inside.

For the price, this is one of my cleanest amps (for the price, this isnt a $4,000 tube amp). I use one for my center and one for my two front towers. I let my Onkyo 900something amp power my rears. Its very clean and has good dampening factor at high volumes. Other amps I have had, in high action passes of movies, the amp suffers, like amplified receiver sound.

Ya know I don't know. I use it as a rack studio amp for my "guitar room" It is a great amp for that. I usually run the volume just over half on each side and control the volume from my Eleven Rack. Great amp and an excellent price. If you are going to use it for stereo equipment you'll need some way to "pre-amp" it. As for it's quality it is great and I've not noticed any distortion at all.

Distortion is Inaudible. Specs on all good amps are excellent but they sound different because of other reasons. The Behringer amp is vey powerful and stable even with low impedance loads.

These amps are clean, very low distortion and I read a number of audiophile reviews on them before I bought them. The actual numbers are on the Behringer website. I can tell they are a real 125 watts RMS per channel or bridged mono, 380 watts RMS...that's how I use three of the 5 of these I have. The other two running stereo for the surround speakers. Hope this helps.

I'm n it gunna lie man, they are over rated on the rms. I would say you could definitely pound 3 with 1800 rms constant. Be careful about amps on Amazon bro. Stay away from boss amps.

According to 'Home Theater' lab results on their site: Two channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads: 0.1% distortion at 124.3 watts 1% distortion at 143.2 watts Five channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads: 0.1% distortion at 89.5 watts 1% distortion at 111.4 watts Seven channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads: 0.1% distortion at 70.5 watts 1% distortion at 83.8 watts

No, just don't give it full power.It's actually better to have more amplifier than you need because you have plenty of clean power to throw at it. Clean power is better for speakers than distortion, because distortion is what overheats the voice coil. These speakers are very efficient, so they will play very loud on modest power. Just don't drive them too hard and you'll be fine.

This amp has a 60 watts at 4 ohms RMS and the pioneer speakers maybe 100 watts at 4 ohms you want to get a 100 watts RMS amp this one will be able to drive these speakers only at 60% of their capacity

Don't know that amp. The iNuke runs my 800w subs without breaking a sweat. Weighs 12 lbs.

This was answered already and I agree (4 watts RMS,, 10 Watts Peak). Don't expect a Marshall or anything powerful, but it is a fun amp that allows you to play in your back yard or wherever... You can also listen to it thru your headphones and in this way you will be surprised how good it sounds! Don't over-think this. IF your thinking about it, just get it. Amazon will treat you right if you are disappointed, but you wont be.

4 chanel with a min 150 watt rms rating, should do the trick, bigger is better you can always turn the gain down

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp.. I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..

If you hook them up to separate channels, your only getting 440watts per size (stereo). If you run it in bridged-mono, and run your two 8ohm speakers in parallel, you create a 4ohm load, which is supposed to pull 3000watts from it. I run two 18" subs with it, and it does pretty awesome. But is it REALLY putting out 3,000watts......? I highly doubt it. Still, a great little amp for the money.

Great! With a 150 rms amp, you will have no problem driving to 80hz. My Onkyo drives Klipsch towers, surrounds and this center channel. It to pushes 145 watts rms. I think it will do what you are looking for... Go for it!

the mini amp is only ~ 8in in length and 4-5in high. It weighs ~ one pound. It sounds OK in a small room or a regular room with a standard ceiling but so much in a large auditorium.

This is a very nice amp, but I don't think it is 4,000 watts. It is very hard to determine without proper equipment. But it is a worthwhile amp for the price.

He is correct. That's on the Pioneer website. Go to the page below and compare the 1018 to the 1019. i saw the same thing and was pretty puzzled by what was left off. The amp is rated at 10W less per channel, but that can't account for the 10lb difference. 33% weight reduction feels severe to me. My sense is that product is aiming down market.http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/PioneerReceivers

If you are running an 8 ohm amp it is 200 watts RMS / 400 watts peak. if you are running a 4 ohm amp its 400 watts RMS / 800 watts peak. If you are using this with another cab and splitting the power... you can definitely crank the volume more without clipping. If this cab is used by itself.. you want to keep you volume down. Just start with you bass vol set on 10 and with the amp volume at 0 and gradually work you way up so you don't overload your speakers. Numbers are just numbers, this cab can handle a lot of volume.
