I want to use these to boost the volume from a TV which I will use in conjunction with Topping 23w amp. These will be the only speakers. OK for this?

I use these speakers for my TV since TV speakers are crap. You will get better sound, music, & voice.

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

They will work.For an idea of the sound quality see the many reviews of this product - many from advanced audiophiles. They only have 3.5" woofers so you can't expect them to do a whole lot with deep bass, however, in my opinion based on the TVs (CRT, Plasma & LED) I've owned they will be able to out perform most TV built in speakers. I enjoy them for surround speakers in 7.1 systems (not for Left right or center channel) where I also have a Subwoofer, and I like them very much.

yes, but these speakers are not good on the bass sound that you would produce with better speakers. I use mine for the highs and have a power booster set up with woofers for the lows.

I use a Marantz MM7055 140 watt per channel Amp for these speakers and I think they rock. I can't imagine needing hundreds of watts per channel. If they sound so good with 300 watts per channel hooked up to them, I sure would like to hear it.

If they are being used as surround speakers, they should be fine. If they are to be used as main speakers you will not have good bass response or volume without a sub woofer.

According to the stats, your alpine has a built in amp of 18w RMS / 50w peak per speaker. My head unit: Aiwa CDC-X227 has 22 w RMS/45 peak. I am running these in the back and 6'' round Polk db's in the front strait off my head unit and have had no distortion up to uncomfortable listening levels. These are 4'' round speakers so as long as you are not expecting these to "thump" *, you should have no problem running these without an additional amp. (*note: I'm not saying they don't have good bass, but they are not very big either)

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

I think it'll depend on your input to them. These speakers already have a built in amp with volume and tone controls so I don't think they'd work if you're sending them an amplified signal from a main board.

It will depend on the how the gain on your amp is set. IMO, 500 watt RMS power for these speakers is way overkill.

No. They really aren't 1000 watts. But they do sound good. I think if you get a good clean amp you should be ok.

If they're 8 ohm speakers, this may be a bit under-powered. They have a 3000 model that would be better suited for only a small amount more.

Are you asking if these are OK to use with a 130 watt amp as the only speakers, without a Sub or a center channel? My answer would be "yes" but you don't want to crank it up all the way. However, because Klipsch speakers tend to be more efficient, you probably wouldn't want to pump the maximum watts into these speakers because it would be too loud, unless you are into REALLY load music. I wouldn't worry so much about the amp rating, I would be more worried about the balanced sound output. I would find a subwoofer of some type to add to these for a balanced sound. They are great down to about 100 Hz, below that they fall off pretty fast. But, if you're not into bass, then they will do fine alone.

Depends. What are the required watts for the speakers you are hooking up? The 120 is peak, so you don't want speakers that require more than that to work.

These speakers require a separate amplifier. I use them as surrounds in my system and they have served me well.

I am running them with 50 watts per channel from a kenwood double din deck and they do very well. Using a 4x100watt amp would give you more punch but any good amp with more than that is overkill for these speakers.
1430903
These speakers are rated for 250 watts but nominal is 40 watts. So yes more than likely you will blow these at high volume. These speakers are really just made to go off head unit power so if you got that kind of amp I would look for a better speaker.

I have read a few reviews of the speaker system; they are described as for use with a computer sound system, they will probably burn out if you use this amp with them.

No they're passive speakers. You will need 'powered' mixer that also acts as amplifier.
