I'm considering this amp to power 4 floor monitors but I'm wondering if it will push them adequately? The speakers are rated 200W, 8 Ohm load each.

Yes. 4 monitors at 8 ohms each brings your impedance load down to 2 ohms (in typical parallel connection). Not all amps can handle 2 ohms (it's almost a dead short) but this amp is rated for 2 ohms so it should be fine, according to the specifications. But if that's all you want the amp to do, I suggest 2 monitors per side (the amp is actually 2 amplifiers in one). That would be a 4 ohm load and would be better for the amp long term. I would avoid running it in bridged mode (adding both sides together) just because it's a cheap amp and I wouldn't run it to it's limits.

i don't know, i'm an amateur, but we used it for a gig and it sounded good with my JBL cabinets and 2 floor monitors. i think it probably would be fine for your monitors Mine died after 3 months though, and the warranty was up... it was so cheap, maybe i should buy another and see if it doesn't blow up too.

I am definitely not a sound expert. And more of a techie who loves loud parties. I have the NU1000 connected to 2 separate EUROLIVE B212D, rated 550 Watts each. And this amp performs without a sweat. I can only get the volume to about 50% - 60% before the pretty women are complaining that theirs ears cannot take it. But even at high volumes, the amp does not overheat, no sound distortion, nice base, no power outages, no lights dimming. So I am sure 4 200W speakers will be fine. definitely throw in an equalizer to take full advantage of the 12' Woofer. I run my parties thru a laptop. So most software based equalizers are crappy. Better to get a real dedicated equalizer. I am definitely not a sound expert. And more of a techie who loves loud parties.

Great question. I power one wedge per side at 8 ohms and they work okay, maybe a bit under powered. Taking them to 4 ohms may be good. I would think the 3000 would be perfect.

If you series them I'd say so. They would do well. I had issue with mine and had to return it an output failed. Might have been a fluke. But it will push them fine

I don't think sow , the amp. will not be enouth , look for something more powerfull Sr.

This amp is only 75 watts at a 4 ohm load. I'm not sure how big your speakers are; however, I would guess that you want something a little bigger. If you can afford it I would recommend an Adcom amp.

I would suggest using this amp on speakers that are 300-400 watts rms. Not sure on your specific speaker ratings

what is the true ohm load at 4ohms and would it really push 4- 15 pa speakers with power to spare?
375707
It'll push 225w to each so yes, it will move them, but not well and if it were my setup I'd get a bigger amp. Generally the rule for amps/subs is to match within 25% of the rated power. So 25% of 400 is 100 so I'd run between 300w-500w rms. Although, this is a cheap amp and I would not recommend it. Buy quality or else end up regretting it like I did.

This amp would push 2 subs at 2 ohm. It can run 1ohm all day and not get too hot to touch . This amp produces well over its rating . 400 @ 4ohm 800 @ 2ohm & 1200 @ 1ohm. Mine came with a birth sheet of 1335watts RMS @ 1ohm. It pushes my 2000 watt square to its limit . This amp could eat lesser speakers.

I'm running 6 similar sized wall speakers -- 3 on each side. It pushes them just fine, with half volume to spare. I'm certain I'm decreasing the amps lifespan, but after 2 years or so, I've had no problems at all.

Yes, Check your ohms on your speakers. This amp will push 380 watts at 8 Ohms. You want your amp to be a lot more powerful than your speakers. This gives you headroom and keeps it from clipping too soon. So, if you have a 100 watt speaker at 8 ohms, you are right the limit of needing a bigger amp. That is if you are using it to run two speaker. One on the left and one on the right. It will power more at 2 and 4 ohms. And it can be bridged.

Should do just fine. I used one to power a couple of 125w bookshelf speakers, and it drove them loader than I really needed, but it depends on your speakers' sensitivity

Don't expect the amp to push the two subs to full potential... You're better off with a 4000w amp bridged and just power down to get good quality sound and some good thumpin power

The amp should push them just fine. each hx2 can only hold 500 watts rms. so it's a combined total of 1000 watts rms.

This amp will be perfect for that, you will want to put two speakers in parallel on each channel, giving you a 2 ohm load on each. Like this http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/FAQ/Wiring/parallel.gif on each channel.

You should have no problem pushing four 10" l7s with this amp but just know it is a energy hog.

I checked the specs on this amp and it is two ohm stable. No need to bridge. With just these 4 speakers and single amp, you should get 100x4 @ 2 ohm(RMS). Which is within the range of the speakers. The Peak power is 235x4 @4ohm, which may be slightly higher @ 2 ohm. This is just above the recommended power for the speakers, which should not pose a problem as long as you don't max out the gains and volume on the head unit.

Hay i have a Hifonic Brutus Mono 2000 watt 4 channel amp. Pushing my 2 (12" kickers) great power feeding my subs.

Defiantly not, could not push 1 1200 watt at 4 ohms. I bridge the amps but I had to keep the volume low or the amp would chip. The surge protector feature is the issue.
