The decription says for stereos 160 watts or less, will this work for a 240 watt stereo. What difference would that make?

I really don't know but being me, If the unit fits I'd make it happen. More power with the right speakers to here over the motor, I would go for it.When I mounted it I made my own mount to install the box. I have it on a motorcycle, so to keep the wires some what hidden I add holes in the bottom. I've driven in the rain and had it sit out side all night in the rain (that sucked) no problems. Good luck!

Not sure if it makes that much difference about the wattage by it is a univeral unit and it worked for me.

It is a matter of heat; to be as water tight as possible, this case pretty much encloses the head unit so there is not much free air circulation. If you stuff a more powerful head unit in there and crank it up, the heat may build to where it toasts the unit... big bucks literally "up in smoke"! I do not know at what point the plastic of the enclosure will melt, but that is always a possibility also. I suppose if you are mechanically inclined you might mount a 12 volt box fan (like from a computer) to try and move more air through the enclosure. Anyway, heat is the reason, and the more Watts you stuff in there, the more heat you will produce.

I don't think it makes any difference. It is a great box. Very easy to install the stereo. I used a Clarion M303 if that helps.

Checked the Owner's Manual which lists the output as 20W + 20W, or 20 watts per channel. Very low distortion permits this compact unit to produce very high quality sound. I have it connected to AudioEngine bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. I am VERY PLEASED with this product.

Which means your subs rms true power should at the most be pushing 1700 watts. Prob not even that. But it woukd work. Wire down to 1 ohm
687716
as I understand the higher the ohm the less efficient they are. I would suggest you call a reputable stereo store in your area for best answer. I put mine in a stock system and they work fine.

Realistically, I wouldn't try it on anything under 300 watts, 350 should work (this is what I have), and anything above that will work fine.

Yes, this amp's output per channel is 140w. All you need to do is to press the stereo button on the remote, depending on your music taste, change the tone. It will do the rest. Powerful amp it is.
1770013
Yes it can....240 to 300 watt usually will draw from 22 to 25 amps....this particular wireing harness is made to take up to 40 amps. so should be plenty of enough to withstand what you are trying to accomplish. Hope this helps

Thanks for your question. This is an 80 watt per channel amplifier. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 36 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

Not out of the box, you'd have to find an adapter for it for 240. Sounds like too much power.
1265310
It will work. I don't see a RMS wattage listed but you will get half the wattage for whatever it's rated at 8ohms. Im using this on 8ohms home stereo speakers and it is more than loud for a garage.

I had my techie guy measure it and it was running between 125 and 150 watts per channel - stereo at 8 ohms. I bought it to power a vintage pair of NS-10s and I have had no problems. Hope that helps.

This should work wel for your system. The total power of my amp stated on the test sheet was 715amps. It has plenty of power. Turn off the low pass switches to the speakers and get your base from the Sub woofer! I think you will be happy!

Not without another adapter. They prob make a 240 version maybe check amazon.UK. you also may be able to workaround with DC adapter. It comes with this and I use it with a litheon backup battery from anker available from amazon. With the backup battery I get the full 20watt RMS. This thing has big sound and nice full bass for its size. Thanks TJ

I was reading some replys,,,someone said it died but could be a reason that was over looked...this only uses 8 ohm speakers so if you have 8 ohm speakers,you will be fine.I am not insulting anyone but most people don't use the right ohms for the stereo.I hope i helpped.you.if you have more that.you need to know,,,feel free to ask.

Check your ohm rating and compare to a home stereo systems ohm rating. If they're the same then it should work.

I'm not an expert, but I went off of the 175W per channel rating when I bought this. The speakers I got were Polk Audio TSi 400's that are capable of taking 200W of power so I knew that the receiver couldn't overpower the speakers if I cranked it up.

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.
