I have a pair of old Pioneer HPM-700 speakers. Would this amp drive them safely?

I am not familiar with these, but if they are 8 Ohm they will push this amp harder than 4 Ohm speakers. Still, should be fine. I am using it with some Martin Logan 10's and it is extraordinary

As long as they are 8 ohms and 90db efficiency or better. Don't expect ear-splitting volume, but should sound very lush!

Wish I could answer your question, but I really don't know. Just a guess, if your speakers are higher than 4 ohm, it is probably safe, but someone else with more of electronics knowledge would be better to ask.

I would say if you are listening in a bedroom or study area and not trying to crank the volume, you should be fine. I use mine with multiple speakes in my study and get a full and dynamic sound out of floor speakers at pretty decent volume levels

Yes for sure.. Wire your speaker to one ohm.. Hope your amp is stable at one ohm

Should work fine with depending upon what you need to drive your speakers. You might be better off with the DTA-100. However, either way you will have to get an RCA Left/Right to 1/8" male mini plug stereo adapter to input into the amp.

i am not familiar with Godenear speakers, but I'd guess this amp will drive them fine. I have been using this amp in a bi-amp 2-channel setup and it has been solid, reliable and quiet (no fans).

Should be fine. I have it powering two 12" Bostons. I ran 8 gauge wire to it. "BOSS Audio KIT2 8 Gauge Amplifier" I ordered that for 16$ has everything you'll need... My speakers are also 4 ohm, so I have them wired normal.. but if yours are 8ohm I'd suggest hooking them up parallel, you'll get more power.But, Pioneer is a Japanese made amp. So you'll get better sound quality then bass. Though it'll still kick, it works fine for me. But if you want something designed more for bass, get an American made sub, something like kickerz.

I have two pairs of these speakers and they are magnificent. They are also efficient (i.e. don't require a lot of power "watts" to drive them). If you vintage amplifier has at least 40 or 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, it should work fine. This will get you to a medium loud sound level, but not near ear-bleeding sound levels.

I don't know why not. The banana jacks on the back are set up for a 2 wire input from each speaker. If your speakers have 2 plugs each it should work. I would however, check to make sure the speakers aren't shorted or you could damage the amplifier. You can do this with a "D" battery by putting one plug on the negative and briefly touching the other to the positive. You should hear a thump from the speaker. That will tell you it is functional.

The short answer, yes. If you look at the spec sheet for this amp you will see that it IS rated to run a pair of 2 ohm speakers in stereo. With a 2 ohm load the amp is rated for 150w x 2 RMS. This exceeds the ratings on your speakers. If you just turn the gain down a bit and keep them at reasonable levels you should be fine.

It will work fine, an sound great. I have this unit in 72 bug and it will blow the doors off. you may need to adjust the power so you don't overwork your speakers.

I'm no audio expert but should not be a problem. Even if this amp really outputs a 1/3 of it's rated power. The one we received works and sounds nice paired with 4 seismic audio artic 15 speakers 400 watts rms.

Fellow aftermarket Pioneer stereo user here, they work fine just plugging straight into it. Havent had to bust out a spare amp yet.

Sure, that's the way i have it. Sounds great. Just check your amp power before, but normally it would work just fine.

I am using this amp to drive my Klipsh Rf-7 speakers. I walks away with them. Typically Klipsch speakers require less power because of their efficiency. This amp will probably drive any speakers well. It has more power than you will ever need. I love it!!

I run these with my existing wire harness in the doors, powered by my Pioneer deck and they sound great. I don't believe an amp for a set at this price would be necessary. I have had these for a little under a year now I think.

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.

I don't know why it wouldn't. I think that receiver has more than enough power and these speakers are pretty rugged. I'm driving 2 of them with an old NAD 50-watt hybrid amp.

They should work fine i that application. Get a 1000 watt amplifier and you will have ample and proper power.
