what is the recommended speaker enclosure volume?

You've gotta contact Kicker. All I know is that he more air space you give this woofer, the more it slams. I've got 1 in a box that had 5.7 cuft of air space on a mono block amp. It crushes...!

Honestly, I haven't taken it to full volume. Never needed to. If you need a TON of sound, a small Bluetooth set won't help you, no matter who makes it. This is for portable situations, not to entertain a bunch of folks for a party or anything like that. If your group is larger than about 6-8 people and/or you have a large space to fill, look to the next level up in size. I.e., bookshelf size stereo.

For a sealed enclosure like for 1.25cu.ft and 1.5cu.ft for ported. I personally have mine in this box, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004X63LQ2 gives some good clean bass while still delivering strong bass.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!

Ideally, bookshelf speakers on the order of 25W will provide highest quality response. Teac has a well matched line of bookshelfs. I use those and a subwoofer fr Yamaha. The system is in my office and sounds better than a $10k. sound system in my living room.

Plenty of sound for average sized room party (I would say up to 300 sq ft with a dozen people) . No idea what other two speakers you mention are capable of.

There are 2 seven watt drivers and 1 fifteen watt sub-woofer so I would estimate a very clean and loud ten watts before any noticeable distortion. I don't run it wide open because that is TOO LOUD!!! 1/2 to 2/3 volume is loud. Below 1/2 volume is normal. Maybe about 1/3 volume for quiet listening.

Truthfully, it doesn't actually matter. My personal philosophy is the bigger the better, so that as you turn it up you are not stressing the speakers, and there is less distortion. Hope that helps!

Ditto everyone elses response. No issues with how many speaker pairs are on

I have the same setup... mine go into protection mode immediately if the volume is above around the 25 setting. Thats about 65 decibels. Guess Im looking for a new receiver unless anyone has an idea.

It depends on what environment you are using the speakers in. AV receiver? Man cave? Bar? I can be more specific with more information.

Im not completely sure but I think it's 30w per zone, 15w per stereo speaker, I have the system paired with Sonance speakers model CR101, the store where I bought them told me this model of speakers are ideal for this kind of applications, when friends come to my house I usually set the volume to 40%, at 80% it's very loud, and I'm 38 jajaja don't think I'm an old user, at 80% you can't chat with friends.

I am currently using a pair of Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones Designed Bookshelf Loudspeakers. they sound very good. other ppl suggested using a pair of Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers would be a good idea too. I will try to post a video with my setup.

I can't answer directly, but I am driving B7W CM8's with very satisfying results - If you aren't familiar with these speakers, they are a: 3 -way, Ported, Tower Enclosure Drivers: One 1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter, One 5" Kevlar FST Midrange, Two 5" Paper/Kevlar Woofer MFR: 69 Hz - 22 kHz ± 3 dB, Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohms Crossover Frequencies: 350 Hz, 4 kHz with a recommended Amplifier Power: 30W - 150W. Hope this helps.

What's up Brandon.... I'd go with 12-16 AWG. The larger the speaker is the larger AWG.

The manual says the speakers should be between 8 and 6 ohms impedance. You probably would run the risk of frying the output amplifier by overloading it at 4 ohms.
