I'm confused, from my research I thought these speakers were 1000 rms?

sorry for the confusion, there is an error on the listing. they are 1000watts RMS

The speakers are 25 W RMS, 100 W Peak here is a link to the spec sheet. http://www.behringer.com/assets/1C-BK_P0196_S_EN.pdfI hope that helps.

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful

I'm pretty sure it's RMS. It's quite powerful depending on your speaker setup. Sounds great with my 'classic' set of Klipsch.

These are highly efficient speakers...they are rated at 98db @ 1 watt. 98 clean DB's is very loud. So, that is these speakers can be driven with a min. Of 10 watts-250 maximum output. You could probably drive these with a high quality 35 RMS amp and they would sound very very good. Just a a side note, it takes 2x the power to move from a 98 db to 99 db. So to get to 100 db (which is very loud) you would need 4 watts....105 db would require 96 watts and so on. A lot of speakers are rated with an efficiency of around 88-93 db at 1 watt. So you can see how efficient these speakers are. Just use or get a very good high quality amp...around 100 watts per channel and sit back and enjoy!

I am using a 300 watt 5.1 amp to power these. I don't think you will be happy with anything less than 150 watts of power. They are remarkable sounding, though.....

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff.

These are rated for 80 watts RMS and I wouldn't advise going over that figure. I'm running mine on a Kenwood amp at 50 watts per channel RMS. They sound excellent! They do tend to distort a bit with a lot of bass so I've installed base blockers on my set. Great choice if you're looking for sound quality but I'd look elsewhere if you're goal is to entertain the neighborhood.

I would say to first research what kind of stock amp you have, along with the correct amount of wattage your current speakers handle aka "RMS"... These speakers are super clear but need the correct amount of power amped to them to sound bright in the highs and clear on the mids

If those are rated at 1000w, then they will be louder. As an owner I'm very impressed with the power of these kickers and have no problems. These are excellent quality, but if you want to go louder try the pioneers.

These speakers are 4ohm rated. You will need an amp that can handle 4ohm speakers. I use a AudioSource Amp 100 Amplifier. It goes for about $120

I'm not sure either but ik these speakers hit hard if u tune them correctly I have mine tune to a cliff design 1500 watt amp and it sounds amazing

I have a 7.1 receiver with 75 watts RMS per channel that works fine and has plenty of volume. These are base reflex (unsealed) speakers which are more efficient vs acoustic suspension speakers (sealed).

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

I couldn't tell you but they don't need a lot of power for them to sound good. I have them running off a Samsung 7.1 1000 watt receiver. You have to bury the base of the speakers under ground for the bass to sound good. I hope this helps!

they are pretty powerful speakers, so i wouldn't run them with less than 1000 per channel. I use a pyle pqa3100, it is pretty cheap but works great with these speakers.

straightforward answer is 75-100 rms, possibly 50. alwyas go by rms. i know infinity isn't all that forgiving on exceeding rms. it may be possible, but that tankes a good ear, responsible short playing, and experience... as in you have hashed a $500+ pair of speakers and have learned fromt he experience. perfects are in the "modern collector" category, so, i not only say it's general bad advice to overpower your speakers, but especially shamefull for all those suggesting to overpower these rare jems. they will play plenty loud and excellent in the 100wrms range. no need to cook them. straightforward answer is 75-100 rms, possibly 50. alwyas go by rms. i know infinity isn't all that forgiving on exceeding rms. it may be possible, but that tankes a good ear, responsible short playing, and experience... as in you have hashed a $500+ pair of speakers and have learned fromt he experience. perfects are in the "modern collector" category, so, i not only say it's general bad advice to overpower your speakers, but especially shamefull for all those suggesting to overpower these rare jems. they will play plenty loud and excellent in the 100wrms range. no need to cook them.
