I was in your shoes once, so I’m going to save you the hassle of researching Watt Stereo any further. Take a look at the prices I’ve found for you and then you decide if you’re ready to buy Watt Stereo right now.
Will using 50 Watt speakers on a stereo receiver that only delivers 20 watts/channel damage either?
I recently came into some old pioneer speakers. According to the back of the speakers Watt Stereo they are rated as having an output of 50 watts per channel. If I use a stereo receiver with an output of less than 50 watts per channel, probably 20 watts per channel, will that damage either the stereo or the speakers? I believe I read somewhere that using too large of speakers on a weaker stereo puts too much stress on it and it will eventually burn out.

i don’t think you can pal, you can get a 12v to 240v converter that plugs into your cigarette lighter, but the power your amp puts out mite be more than your car audio speakers can take
It’s not so much the stereo as the speakers you use. You need to make sure you have speakers rated for the wattage of your receiver. Also, you might want to consider a powered sub-woofer for your setup.
If you are hooking up power from your stereo into an amp, the quality is going to be sub par. Best thing to do is use a stereo that has pre-amp out puts. They are normally rated any where from 2.5 to 5 volts. The higher the better depending on stereo quality and speaker quality. Using the pre-outs allows you to send only the signal for clean sound, when you send 4 x 45 power through an amp you are amplifying imperfections.

only if they are both 1000 watts RMS, and only if their ohm loads match.
In order to get a ‘live’ sound, the biggest thing missing would be the ambience of the environment. In your home, the sound is greatly affected by the size of the listening environment as well as the absorption characteristics of the walls, floor, ceiling, drapery, etc. That is called the acoustic environment. To get a good sound, you will want to make sure you pay particular attention to the placement of the speakers. Cheaper speakers, as well as some near field monitors tend to beam the high frequencies, meaning that the high frequencies are lost when listening off axis, or not in the direct path of the speakers. This means that you would end up with a very small area where the full range of the speakers will be heard. If the high frequency beaming is bad enough, you will need to aim the speakers at the listening area, instead of just pointing them straight. That is to say, they might need to be angled in. Also, it will probably also be necessary to have the speakers at ear level. As far as watts, that depends on the efficiency of the speakers. Some speakers will literally blow the windows out with 10 watts and the right material playing. Other speakers will need 20 or 30 watts to even begin to sound good, let alone loud. As far as number of speakers, that all depends on the quality of the individual drivers. There are plenty of decent 2way speakers, although 3way speakers (woofer, midrange, tweeter) should give a bit better bass response in general. As far as number of speakers such as stereo pair or surround sound which might include front and rear pair and perhaps a front center, those are usually for movies and videos where the surround information is mixed in (encoded) with the soundtrack. This would require a surround receiver. A cheaper option would be an ambience processor that would have reverb and/or delay settings to simulate the acoustic environment of a much larger room. If your signal source is your computer, then I’d recommend using the Izotope Ozone player plug in with either win amp or windows media player. If yo are listening to records, CDs or tapes and your system has an external loop or preamp out/power amp in), then something like this Lexicon unit should work: http://www.amazon.com/Lexicon-MX200-Stereo-Effects-Processor/dp/B0009W0BDA
Umm….well…..lets see. You are retarded. Also, you are retarded. And lastly, why would you do that? To answer your question, you will need a really big AC to DC converter. Next you will need a clue. Despite what you think, it won’t sound as good as it does in a car. Car speakers are designed with small areas in mind. They sound they project is not intended for a big room. If you are looking to make a shop radio for your garage, ditch the EQ and Amp and use just the deck with just the speakers. A high wattage computer power supply would work for just a head unit. But it would still be better to walk down to walmart and buy a boombox.
check if 4 ohms > look at bottom labelif 4 ohms, connect directly to stereo output wire, look for the wire with black stripe on every wire, that is the negative side to be connected to negative of speaker terminal.do you have wiring diagram with you ?example of speaker wiring:white wire positive, white w/ black stripe negativeviolet wire positve, violet w/ black stripe negativeetc etc etc ,what you should know is how to select which goes to front speaker and which for the rear.fader and balance wiring .turn on radio,turn radio mode selector to fade front and no sound to rearselect a coded wire then connect to a small test speaker.by this time you will determine which speaker wires is for front speaker,now move selector mode to balance L-Rhere you will know which will go to right or left speaker, after you determine which goes to front and rear and left to right. connect all 4 speakers.for 2 speaker system, the same tracing procedure but this time , you only work on 2 speaker output.
I do not believe so.Once you wire up the 90 watt amp, then your deck sends the signal to the amp, and the amp spits it out at 90 watts.I get what your saying, you think it will send the 90 watts plus the 20 the deck is rated at. The deck technically is not hooked hooked up directly to the speakers after you put the amp on. The amp is hooked up directly to the speakers.
There is really no need to upgrade your stereo, you’re sub is getting 400 watts no matter what, from the amp. The amp takes the wattage from your stereo and increases it to be directed to your sub. If you want more wattage to your sub, then simply increase the amp size.
low riders are for guys that can’t get it up
Sure, 600 watts is just the peak power recommended so you don’t blow the speakers. I have a stereo in my home with 125 watts RMS pushing an automobile subwoofer rated for 650 watts and it sounds really good, when I turn it up the bass will rattle my windows. If you’re purchasing the speakers from someone you know ask if you can test them on your stereo first though, to see how they sound, as some speakers sound better than others with low wattage. Good luck.
You can feed the 750 watt subwoofer with 250 watts (not the other way). Just don’t allow much clipping (subs don’t cool properly with clipped signal)
rms is the daily power the speaker can handle. its a thermal rating of how hot it can get b4 it blows, itf its clean power it can b a lil more. but match the amp rms to the subs rms and you should b good
any amount of watts you can give a sub is going to give u bass. a five hundred watt amp dont matter the brand, if bridged, should give you bass you can hear and feel. one sub bridged to the amp is the best case scenario. make sure your no lower than two ohm load on the sub cause i doubt the hi fi is one ohm stable. if this is for your car you wont be cracking concrete but you should be bumpin. house will be rocking though. real nice. enjoy and good luck.
You would have to bridge both right side and bridge both left side speaker wires to get the max power,…..this will give you 110 to each of 2 speakers.
These people are morons. Your speakers will be fine as long as your watts ratings are accurate. Make sure you are dealing with either rms/continuous watts ratings, or peak/max watts ratings for both stereos.Having more watts should allow you to NOT max out your amp (stereo), which is usually what blows speakers.
It doesn’t.The speaker wattage rating has nothing to do with how much power is generated by the stereo. The factors that affect the power outputs are the volume control and the speaker’s impedance. A 2-ohm speaker will draw more power from the stereo than a 4-ohm speaker with the same volume setting.The speaker’s power rating is just the highest power level that the speaker is able to handle without being damaged.If you’re wondering why a 60-watt x 4 head unit shouldn’t be used with a 400-watt rated subwoofer, it’s because the head unit’s RMS power rating is closer to 20 watts than 60. Also, head units don’t generally have built-in low-pass crossovers for the speaker outputs, so the subwoofer would get the full audio signal and not just the bass. The result is poor sound quality.
200w X 4 wound be your head unit get speakers 50w+ eachmaybe you need to look at minimal watts , if you buy one we less handling you will blow then Even if you install 100w speakers each ,you still dont need a Amp , but you only going to hear 50w of sound,
