Hi, Are these more suited for a home 110v or auto 12v amp. How much amplification can they handlle? Thank you

Doesn't matter which you use, though their shape and quality suggest lower-fi DIY projects. If by "amplification" you mean "power handling," the product description it says "Max power rating: 200 watts," which is probably an inflated number. I'd put it at 50W max for a bandwidth-limited continuous test signal (like an AES test spec).

Well not really sure what you are asking but I have these on a 200watt amp with no issues. They are well built and I have no problem running large power amps through them.Good luck.

No.. unfotunately the amperage is too low for the 110v conversion in my home. I have ordered another set that state they are dual voltage.

Hi Joe, to be honest with you I returned this. It didn't work for me either. I tried to plug them into a amp and nothing. Definitely cheap and not worth the money if you ask me.

I have no idea of voltage or amps...I have yet to use these items.Sorry I couldn't help more

This amp would definitely be able to run them. Probably not to their full potential, but I run two 12" and it sounds really good. I bought this unit for $100 and it was worth that. Not much more than $125.

They're 8 ohm impedance speakers. Will work with any receiver or amplifier expecting to see an 8 ohm load.Many 12v amps are looking for a 4 ohm load, which I think is what you're referring to. Some are switchable. You can wire these in parallel to get 4 ohms, but I doubt that would be practical for you, since you'd need to install two pair in order to do it properly. If your amp/receiver is expecting a 4 ohm load don't get these.

I use JL Audio Speakers and istalled in my boat. . This equipment uses 12V and home has 110 V

I think this 12v is just what type of system (auto) the speaker was designed for. There is absolutely no reason a car speaker cannot run off of a home audio (110AC) receiver just as well as it does off of an auto head unit. You never connect the speaker directly to the power, whether that power is a wall socket or car battery.

Well if you have 110 volts i don't see a problem. You have realize that they are American made and thus use the North American voltage. I hope this helps you out mate.Cheers

You will need two Amps then. 1 won't be hitting them that hard. 4 to 1 amp for a 1200 watt amp. If you get a bigger amp you will need to buy a compositor and much more and bigger wire.

Hello they work fine on any 12 volt adapter, with the correct amps output I think I am using a 1amp transformer

I've never heard it called 110v stereos and 12v stereos... These are I believe 6 or 8 ohm impedance speakers for normal home stereos. I you wanted to use them in a 96v professional distribution audio setup you would need to use a distribution transformer.

Very loud with little wattage. They don't need but 150watts to each sub. Rockford Fosgate 500 2 channel amp is what I have pushing them. They will rock!!! I don't have them anymore sold car just left them in car. Down sized to 12" now Kenwood 12ps they are even louder without taking up my whole trunk.

It really doesn't matter whether they are 4ohm or 8ohm... most amps can handle a 4ohm load without any trouble. Having said that these are 8ohm speakers.

What power supply are you using to connect them to when testing? You would need a car battery. A 12V wall adapter will NOT have 10 amp output to be able to drive these horns. Most 12v home sources only have 1/2 amp out put you need a FULL 10AMPS. Hope that helps.

And ya like Ray said.... If you're getting two pairs, you should get a 4 ch amp. If only one pair, a 2 ch will be fine.
