would this little amp be good enough for my speakers in my boat? i cant turn them up too loud or it cuts out i was told i need an amp for more power

yes, it will help, but, in a bout, an open space, remember...you have to have the right speakers to handle the amp. load..kimmy

It will work... albeit not that well. This is about as small as amps get. That said, it's going to put out more power than just your deck so it will be an improvement. You should be able to turn it up quite a bit.

It could work for a boat . But this isn't a marine amp . So you would need to install it in a place that won't get wet at all.

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp.. I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..

You really need an amp, these speakers are very loud since they are for competitions, I would recommend you getting some marine speakers.

My comment is that I agree that underpowered receivers or amps will easily damage your speakers. I learned the hard way when I was a teenager 25 years ago and the receivers I used then blew tweeters. Then I bought a Carver amp and felt the difference. At this time, I have Carver amps driving L/R/C/Sub Channels on my system. It is safer to have a 250RMS Watts per channel amp than a 40watt receiver.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

I would consider this amp underpowered for your task. Look at its rms power and you should understand why.

This amp is more than sufficient and is actually to powerful. So make sure you keep it turned down to protect your speakers from blowing. I have this amp running 2 15 hifonic brutis speakers and it is still almost to much power. I have a 8 ferit cap and it still makes my lights flicker a little bit when it's really pulling.

It will produce sound, the quality will be questionable tho. I put 150w rms to mine and they sound amazing. Between 100w-200w would be ideal IMO. The more CLEAN power that you give them, the better they'll sound.

I believe it should be more then adequate to power 2 12's. I'm no stereo guru but this amp should give you more then enough power and not blow your subs but give you all the bass you want. I've had the amp in my car since last Saturday and I have a single 10 inch bass inferno sub and this amp is more then enough for me. People think I have a 15 or multiple speakers in my car. It's a great amp so far. It also comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer. The amp is great price,looks good and is light weight

Not a good idea you should aim for a two channel amp our two one channel amps and try to match the ohms of the speakers with the amp to get the best out of them

This a very small amp. Having said that, Im 99% sure you can listen to music at medium volume, just dont expect to hear any significant low frequencies. I think the "Dayton Audio APA150" is a better option for this speakers.

Hi There.....I have a Yamaha 200 amp connected to this unit, running 4 seperate set of speakers. Its been in use for a few years with no problems. I don't crank my music very high and listen to easy music. Hope it helps!

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 haven't used this on a boat, but I can tell you it has substantial sound. Theirs 2 speakers up front and what seems like a mini sub on the top. You might want something bigger though if your wanting it to entertain the whole boat. If its mounted next to the helm for your entertainment, it would be good.

You can never really have too much power, as long as it's clean power. I don't think it will be too much...you control the volume! I have mine powered with a slightly under powered amp but it's still okay. Another factor to consider is the enclosure, it has to be a proper size. Good luck!

Depends on how clean your amp is. They are not tower speakers but they rock the boat and the swimming area around the boat.

You need to buy an amp.. I purchased a 175 watt marine amp which does just fine.
