Are you running two or four speakers? If you are running 2 speakers then a 2 channel amp will work and a 4 channel with 4 speakers. You can also bridge with a 4 channel amp with these speakers as well. Get you a 4 channel amp with at least 50 watts RMS to run these bad boys. These speakers rock!

I'm Going to Run a SOUNDSTREAM Piccasso Nano 4ch Amp with My JBL GTO938 Setup, Hoping I Get The Results I Am Expecting...

Yes a 4 channel... Make sure it has a low t.h.dTotal harmonic distortion rate...and the RMS wattage is the same or better as the speakers

I installed a "Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-Watt Stereo Amplifier" for these speakers. I did not want anything really loud just a boost. It works great.

You don't need an amp, but you should check to see if your current speakers are 6" x9". If they aren't, then these will not fit without extensive modification to your car.

You don't have to buy an amp. The only way to damage these speakers, would be to overpower them or literally break them. They are great speaker on their own, but the way to get the most out of them is to get an amp. A 250 watt amp is ideal for these speakers.

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.

I'd stick with the same. Some amplifiers can operate "unsafely" I.e. overheating or crappy sound, if they can't produce the right impedance per whatever ohm each speaker has. I'd start from ground up if you're wanting bigger better sound

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

Not sure what the best amp is but I have a QSC PLX1804 power amp pushing these babies. I wanted to be able to push these speakers to the max and this amp does just that. I love these speakers.http://www.qscaudio.com/products/Power_Amplifiers/PLX2_Series/PLX1804/

I use mine as a center channel speaker with mixed bag surround system. It would be best to use some type of amp.

Get a 4 channel amp that gets 500w rms for the speakers and tweeters. Get a monoblock amp that runs same rms as subs for them

It will depend on the how the gain on your amp is set. IMO, 500 watt RMS power for these speakers is way overkill.

Hey Phillip -- I am no expert and do not own these speakers but the its a pretty good relaibel rule to ever add speakers. You will mess up the impedance math and degrade sound and could evenutally blow your amp.

Hi,We recommend the Seismic Audio Shockwave4000 power amp. It has the power needed to get the maximum performance from these speakers.

I am not a big expert on amps or speakers. I can tell you that I use four Sony Bookshelf speakers which work just fine. See Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

I bought JL audio 4 channel amp. They sound amazing with it. It's rated 70RMS x 4 @4ohmn. Can't go wrong with that one.

These speakers need an amplifier. I use them with the Audiosource Amp100 (amzn.com/B00026BQJ6), but you could probably use a smaller one like the Lepai Tripath LP-2020A+ (amzn.com/B00C2P61FO)

The best amp wattage would be right around 3200 cause they peek at 1600 each speaker. I made the mistake of only getting a 1800 watt kenwood which is a good amp just not enough power. No matter what they will bump though

These speakers are 4ohm rated. You will need an amp that can handle 4ohm speakers. I use a AudioSource Amp 100 Amplifier. It goes for about $120
