I have 2 speakers: 4ohms, and 2000 Watts peak power capacity. and 1 subwoofer: 8ohms, and 1600 Watts peak power. How should i set up an amplifier?

You can mono block the sub with one amp and u will need a second for the 4 ohm ones. There are a series of switches on the back for whatever suits your needs. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/214185/Behringer-Europower-Ep2000.html. I have 2 - 2000s and 1 - 4000. These amps are very versatile!

According to their website, this would be a good choice of power for the speakers. 75wrms @ 2Ohm for each speaker and 300wrms @ 2 ohm for the sub. Make sure that the sub is 2Ohm, though. When you receive the amp it will come with a QC sheet explaining each power rating. Just make sure you tune it properly and it will work well. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r600x5

Humm... may be not. I use one 8" Kicker with a 500 W amp. Good sound, no overcharges, no distortion, no overheating. I think you could use that amp if you don't want to have your subwoofers to max power. If you need power bass I guess your amp won't be able to manage the peaks.

This is kinda difficult. It's rated at 440 watts/8 ohm stereo and 820 watts/4 ohms stereo. If daisy chaining Bridged, your speakers would be 4 ohms at 1,000 watts (8 ohm divided by 2=4 ohm load) Normally you want around 100-200 watt headroom on your speakers. If those speakers have a higher peak output than 500, say 800, you should be safe in running out the bridge mode output to 1st speaker then parallel to the other speaker. You want to not under power the speakers nor overpower them.

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

well if your looking to go to the peak power 1600 true watts i have 2 on a 1200 watt amp and they sound good id probably get a 1500 watt mono block hifonics amp the one thats one ohm stable and wire the subs to one ohm and they will sound great

Depends how powerful the subs are. I got 4 6 1/2 speakers each speaker is 90 RMS and I got 2 10 inch subs hooked up they are 150 RMS each. Everything sounds great and clear. You might just need to mess with the gains a bit. I definatly would buy this amp if I were in your position, but you just need to make sure everything is wired up currectly. This amp is great for its price! Good luck man hope it all works out!

You cant wire two four ohm speakers 1 ohm. If you wire them parallel they will be 2ohms. This amp will power them nicely. To accomplish 1 ohm you would need 4, 4ohm speakers. Basic ohms law.

You could use one amplifier per speaker, but it won't be any better than plugging both speakers into one amplifier - it's 15 watts per channel, not 30 watts wherever, so leaving one side disconnected doesn't gain you anything on the other side. You also can't connect them together. That really shouldn't matter much, though. You don't actually have to run 30 watt speakers from a 30 watt amplifier - I've had this little amp hooked up to a pair of 100-watt speakers and it was just fine. You can't run the speakers to their maximum volume, but they run just fine at normal volumes. Remember, noise and power aren't linear, so 15 watts isn't half as loud as 30 watts. In fact, a mere 3 watts is half as loud as 30! 15 watts is enough to get your speakers fairly loud.

Use a 50 amp fuse. Also 8 Guage or 4 Guage is sufficient for power wire.amp has about 75-80 watts rms per ch. Mine had a certificate showing 321 total rms (continuous) wattage. Perfect for high powered speakers. Can be bridged for subs as well and 2 ohm stable

You did not mention what you need it for and what speakers you have. For amplifying voice it is more than enough power. If you're a dj and are planning to play music you will need a second nu 3000 connected to a subwoofer. If you have 8 ohm speakers you get sbout 200 watts per channel. For more power you can connect two speakers on each channel making an impedance of 4 ohms.

Yes it would be a lot of power indeed. But take note. It might be to much. Check to see how much your subwoofer peaks to. The boss amp is 5000 so u would need both subs to be 2500 max peak. Hope this helped. If ur confused ask me again.

Using two 16 ohm would be the same as using four 8 ohm. You would be getting about 30 watts of power to the speakers. That is not much!

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

My understanding is 2 OHM is better. I would however recommend you install the amp to get the proper sound that the speakers are capable of. I have not done this but I need to.

Root mean squared is just a type of average, so it's saying that you get an rms average of 300 watts for 1 4 ohm speaker. With two speakers, depending on how you wire them, you can get 2 ohms of resistance, giving you 500 watts rms output or 8 ohms, giving you closer to 200 watts rms output.
