Can the Pioneer FH-X700BT double din car stereo drive two of these speakers okay in terms of ohms, watts? I have a 01 honda odyssey. i'm a beginner so pardon the ignorance of my question

That's exactly the head unit I have powering these speakers in my 2001 Tacoma 2D and it works/sounds great.

These polks are 180 Watts power with 4 ohm impedance.Your pioneer unit allows for 4 ohm speakers and its Power Output Peak is 50 watts x 4 channels. So from an ohm and watts standpoint your good.

Yes. Micca speaker is rsted nominally at 8 ohms while your Pioneer is (oddly) rated at 6 ohms (a marketing trick to spec the power output higher, but this is usually done at 4 ohms). If you do mix impedance ratings for front/center and surround speakers, just make sure you adjust balance.

I'll preface that I'm no pro-audio expert, but based on how much this powers my 1 sub, I think this will be plenty of power for 2 subs, and still leave you 4 channels for the rest of your speakers. I would recommend shooting a call to your local best buy and just ask the geek squad car audio reps...they helped me even though I didn't buy it from them...they are actually the ones who recommended this amp versus one of they sell.

The lower the OHMS, the harder the amp has to work to make the speakers go. Sort of counter-intuative, and there is more to it, but that is the simple answer. The internal power amps in the Pioneer unit cannot push lower than a 4 OHM load.

It's definitely not going to take the place of 2 12" speakers. I run 4 of these speakers only powered by my kenwood 4x50w head unit. I do have an 8" infinity sub in the trunk. And it's fantastic! When the sub is turned off it's a very noticeable drop in bass. They may be better powered by a dedicated amp, i would be interested to see how that works as i've been thinking of getting another amp.

These speakers should work just fine with your factory Honda radio, but these speakers will also benefit from an aftermarket amp.....with the amp, they will be louder and clearer.

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

It depends on your receiver. I have a pioneer as well (vsx815), but mine has speaker preouts that I used to take to an external amp and then from this external amp to this switch to power different zones of speakers. Your pioneer would have to have a dedicated amplified zone 2 speaker output to run the speakers directly with this switch. Unless you only want 3.1 in your main listening area and use the rear speakers to power the switch. There are many ways to do it, these are just my suggestions.

What speakers would be best ? and i have a 3 ohm system on a honda goldwing 2002 year . 4 or 4 1/2 size .

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

The pioneer GM-D9601 is made specifically for these speakers. It will go perfect with 2 of these speakers. Trust me I know because I have 2 of these speakers and the amp and they work great. You wI'll want to go and get them installed unless you know exactly what to do without looking anything up on the Internet because if you wore anything wrong you will mess up everything. Also I don't know if the final impeadence is 2ohm or one. If you get them installed professionaly they will know how to wire everything correctly.

Yes!. Since your subwoofer is powered I believe it may be possible?. I wish I had a better answer. If you have a Best Buy near you check with one of their installers. They sell and install these amps, and they should be able to tell you. Even I'm curious now?. From what I was reading if you have a Honda the ANC has to be disconnected. Active Noise Cancellation. It interferes with these subs. I have never listened to these speakers, but the JBL 6x9's are rated number 1. I have listened to the Infinity Primus 6.5 and was impressed rated number 2. The biggest problem for me is the frequency response with so many of the 6.5 speakers. Some are a little bass heavy. IMO the fronts need to be a little higher in the frequency ranges. This can be hard to accomplish with a 6.5 easier with a 4x6. Depends on the car, and what sound any one of us is trying to put together? .........This amp will work with 2ohm and 4ohm. The infinity is 3ohm. The Jbl's are 60wt so you'll be getting all the power to these speakers, plus you have sensitivity at 92db, plus the 2ohm should give you a 100% push. Just be careful on the volume, at 2ohm at low volume these should play plenty loud. You did good with your selection. Enjoy!. This amp is 180w total output, or 45w per speaker at 2ohms or 4ohms. It can also be bridged for 2 speakers only at 90w each speaker. Sounds like you have knowledge of good sound. 100 RMS is perfect. I'm sure you know this but I was just looking these up. Here's the specs on these JBL's.........*6-1/2"/6-3/4" Grand Touring Series 3-Way Car Speaker System *Power Handling: &#9702;Peak: 360 watts per set / 180 watts each side &#9702;RMS: 120 watts per set / 60 watts each side *Patent pending Plus One woofer cones *Mylar/titanium composite dome tweeters *Can be safely powered by any headunit *Sensitivity: 92 dB *2 ohms impedance *Frequency response: 50-21,000 Hz

Yes, your speakers will work. You will need to adjust the receiver for the lowest impedance load you will be driving and everything will be fine. The settings on this unit are: 4 ohms or greater / 6 ohms or greater, choose 4 ohms or greater and it will compensate for the loads

That is nonsense to my knowledge as long as your head unit has RCA OUTPUTS for your highs you are in business my friend. I am running a pioneer head unit on my alpine and well the best sound ever my 300 alpine is pushing 2-6x9 in front 2-6 1/2 all 3ways Memphis a set of silk tweeters and 2 1/2 on my dash like theirs no tomorrow my dually sounds awesome that is a fact brother.

You should be fine, but just to be on the safe side, look on the back of the amplifier or in the owner's manual to see if there is a specific warning not to drive speakers with less that an 8-ohm load. Since it's a good-quality amp, there shouldn't be a warning of that sort. As a further check, see if the manual quotes a power rating into 4 or 6 ohms. It probably will (and it will be a higher number), which means your unit has the reserve current to safely drive a lower impedance speaker. Hope this works out because -- having lived with these speakers for more than a year -- I continue to be impressed by their clarity and the width of the sonic field they are able to project.

J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening. I just pulled up your question and I am willing to guessthat this amplifier is capable of driving 2, 4, 8, 12 ohm speakers as directed by the purchaser.The reason for my positive response, and I am driving Bose 301's and rebuilt Infinity 3000's, isthat any speaker set up is not a mix and match situation. Go with the speakers you have installedbut do not cross/mismatch the ohms; a quick check of each speaker will save you trouble down theroad. I believe that I am running, 12 total, 8 ohm speakers which I play at volume 50-60. My Jazzsounds terrific! J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening.

I have these speakers in my car without an amp and an amp wired separately to my subwoofer. Each run perfectly fine. Speakers won't have as powerful bass without the amp, but with 2 subs all the speakers should be handling is the mids and highs anyway.
